OSP Tallow Shaving Cream Test #1
The "cream" is very similar in consistency to the Signature soap Hybrid croap's for me, which i like.
I, like Paul, am not very good at describing scents, i either like them or i don't, to me this has a natural earthy smell with some light sweetness in there, I like it, its not overpowering at all.
So using about the same amount of the sample as i would a tube cream i lathered the soap in the Copper Captain with the Chubby Synth.
I would say about a Large peanut size.
I was worried i had over hydrated the sample as i did not shake out the brush enough and the soap started quite foamy, my bad, i worked the brush a little longer than i normally would and the lather began to bind, the volume grew, and grew and grew some more. basically flooding the bowl.
The lather began to take on a nice sheen and stiffen to nice consistency.
I loaded onto the face and worked it in a bit more, it really covers nicely and feels good on the face.
I completed a 3 pass shave today with 2 razors and had no issues at all, the lather got better as the shave went on and every pass was easy and without issue. the soap doing its job well.
The post shave feeling is nice and the rinse off was good, there was no or very little residue left on the razors and they cleaned up easily.
A little less soap for tomorrows shave. This what was left after the 3 passes - such a waste.
Thank you James for allowing me to try this soap, for me it is most definitely something i would use and buy.
What scent profiles are you thinking of?
Oh, the Aluminium Tin works or a loose packed that can be put into a reusable dish.
