IMO, it wasn't a very good soap. It's good to know that this new formula performs well and you enjoyed the shave. I find the color odd because the old Topanga Fougere was the typical off-white that you see in a lot of soaps.
wyze0ne: Thanks for the info! I was wondering why I hadn't heard much about Lassco's soaps in the past. Now that you've mentioned Chiseled Face, I can see the similarity. The lathers are almost identical. Topanga Fougère's red color comes from the inclusion of French Red Clay. Like kaolin, it's supposed to improve the soap's slip.
Irish Fern v. (Wickham Soap Co. 1912) woody fougère
It's called Irish Fern but really it smells like the original Irish Spring bath soap, right down to the woody side note. It's clean and classic, but it's also a sort of been-there-done-that scent, more nostalgic than visionary. Try it next time you start your day with "More than a Feeling."
