This is my first review so bear with me:
So let us begin with the packaging; Glycerine soap inside of a tiny mason jar, I love this package as its both reusable and caters to my country upbringing. At the bottom of the soap is a little dapper mustache that is dyed in (would show but used mine so much that it wore off).
Scent: Monte Carlo upon first sniff smells like Frank Sinatra just left his room to head down to the casino floor. Seriously this stuff smells great, starts off with a cologne ish musk, finishes with floral and citrus notes. Pretty strong fragrance, it lasts several hours post shave and is not for the olfactory sensitive groups out there. My only complaint is that there is something in the fragrance that can irratate my skin (inconsistently).
Quality: Small batch soap made with attention to detail. This soap is top notch for what it is. It falls somewhere between a cream and soap. Lather: Soft soap that requires some work to lather properly. I had to work the soap over for about 40-50 seconds before I began to get a suitable lather. This may just be inexperience on my end, it may be the soap. Further playing around is required on my end. Efficacy: This soap is slick, very very slick. While the lather was there it was amazing however; the lather has a tendency to dry out faster than any of my other soaps. But see above notes for possible reasons. Moisturizing: Never had a dry day with this soap. Always left my face super smooth and soft. Overall it's a great soap. I love the fact it's a small batch operation located in El Paso, TX. The owner spends time at the barber college here donating supplies and time to them. The website is currently down for maintenence so sorry no up to date prices: resources: |
