OK.. this is my first shaving related review so bear with me. I've done tons of tech/computer reviews so...
I found these guys at my local farmers market. They are are based in Kalamazoo, MI but looks like they will ship where ever. I don't know about international.
I bought the
Scotch Ale Shaving Soap. I'd never used shaving soap before but from all the info on this site I pretty much knew what to look for. I'm using a typical 1- 5 rating system.
1 = poor, 5 = Excellent. SO here goes:
Scent -
3. Smelled great but very faint and light and seemed to fade quickly. Overtones of spice, wood, and yes beer. Also had some faint tobacco elements..
Lather -
4. I thought it lathered up rather easily. I was prepared to do some serious twirling but it came pretty easy. Not a super thick lather but a nice smooth feeling one. Goes on easy and the blade glides thru it well. Got a really close shave using it.
Quality -
4 - Again, I don't have much experience with shaving soaps but this seemed good quality. It wasn't mushy but wasn't super hard. It was a tad softer than a typical bar of regular soap. And it is made from all natural ingredients.. no chemicals. Did I mention it has beer in it? LOL
Price -
5 - the price was $6 which is cheaper than their website price. Might have been a farmers market special...
Over all I give this product a thumbs up! I would recommend giving it a try....
