What soap/cream did you use today?

Just about ordered this one the other day. What can you tell me about it?

I have this thing about Tcheon Fung Sing soaps.  To begin with it only costs approximately $2.15 per ounce and TFS soaps seem to last longer.  The formula contains olive oil, coconut oil and vitamin E which are gentle on the face.  It makes a great lather and covers my face well.  Very slick.  It has a very pleasant aroma.  All and all 13.5 ounces of a very good soap is hard to pass up.  I truly like Italian soaps.

Thank you, Tidepool! Looks like I may have to do a little shopping.

TFS is the most underrated soapmaker out there. A million diverse scents to choose from. Simple formula, which is sometimes enhanced with 1 or 2 additions (olive oil, sulfur/fuller's earth, argan oil, etc.). Simple is good.

First, a few words of eulogy: today I retired the last few scraps of one of my oldest pucks, L’Occitane’s Cade. It had been in my rotation for nearly five years. A few weeks ago, I judged it had only a handful of lathers left, and I wanted it to go out in style. I cleaned it up, gave it a quick kneading, and pressed the remnants into a handsome acacia bowl. Unfortunately, the bowl’s finish and the wood’s dark grain immediately bled into the wet puck and stained it a gooey chocolate brown. I couldn’t bring myself to use it again. It was a great soap that gave me innumerable shaves, and it will be greatly missed. A moment of silence, please.

This morning, not a moment too late, I received this puck of Pré de Provence Savon à Raser. It will take Cade's place on the shelf (as if anything really could). Though it doesn’t smell as nice as Cade, it’s just as hard and makes a very similar thick vegetable lather. It gave me a great shave, and the finish is slightly richer than Cade’s. But while Cade smells like the forest on a warm summer day, PdP's scent recalls something a little more domestic. To me it smells like the soap you find in your friend's guest bath: flowers and herbs, maybe a touch of lemon and neroli. Though not exactly exciting, it’s certainly not offensive, and with continued acquaintance, its soft clean bouquet could rank among my summertime favorites. Le savon est mort, vive le savon.

Ahhhh. Cade! I doff my cap I reverence. And to see that tin of PdP! My friend you described it perfectly. I really enjoy the scent on this one too. One of my favorites.
