Vétyver v. (Martin de Candre) bright vetiver
Looks like thirty swirls is optimum loading for me and my PAA Solar Flare brush. I get a thick lather that’s slick and still doesn’t dry me out. The scent of fresh vetiver comes up more and more with each use, while the rubbery note that used to annoy is fading away. Each shave is better than the last, so I’m having a hard time putting this jar back on the shelf. I’m not sure I’ve really figured out yet how good this can get.
What should I say about the cost? Up front the soap is glaringly expensive, but over the long haul, it’s pretty cheap. I reckon I’ve made 15 lathers with 1mm of soap. That leaves me with 44mm of soap still in the jar, enough to make another 660 lathers. I paid $50 US for this slightly used tub, so by the time it’s all done and dusted each shave will have cost me about 7½ cents. The challenge, of course, with this soap is to use it enough to recoup your expense.

I have several Wet Shaving Products formula T (tallow) soaps and a few of their Rustic (veg) soap line and most have been moved out of the 3 inch tin into coltainer jars left over from other used soaps. Love the performance and scent of Sandalwood. Slickness and cushion are on point. Post shave is excellent. Wonder why this brand is not more popular? (Maybe it's the stinking tin can.) actually although I don't care for the tin if you couldn't tell, I would still be a buyer for the soaps.
I have to agree on all points.
Great scent. Sandalwood should smell like resin or wood. This smells like wood, so it passes the logic test.
Performance is good in all respects.
The tin is where it needs improving...can't believe they haven't changed that out yet.
