Tallow+Steel Merchandise 7x (Soap and Aftershave)

Wow! This TS Merchandise 7x burns!!!

I felt the tingle all throughout the shave. However the aftershave splash lit my face and neck on fire (and not a mentholated type burn either). Turned my skin red too like a sunburn. Something in this formula doesn't like me. That is unfortunate because the soap had great cushion and was very slick.

On a different note, the scent is very unique and spicy. With the secret ingredient “Merchandise 7x” added, I can see why Coca Cola has that extra burning sensation more so than Pepsi or RC Cola. My skin needs to settle down so good thing this was a night shave...

Greetings,

First outing of the Serbian Albus Palmira shaving Soap,another chistmas pressie to myself, with me having a great fondness for Cella shaving soap, and it's wonderful almond fragrance, i 've been intrigued in trying out the Albus Palmira soap after reading some great reviews on it...the verdict?

On opening the cubed box, and taking the clear cellophane wrapper off i was greeted by a 'not in your face,' yet wonderful scent of sweet almond, after soaking this semi-hard tallow based soap in warm water for 5 minutes i loaded my damp brush up with a generous amount for a 30 seconds, then add a few drop of water and started to create a lather in no time, the slickness and protection of this soap, i have to say is on equal par to cella, along with a equally good post shave feeling to my face, without any drying out issues in-between each pass,it's a thirsty soap, which isn't a bad thing, once i found my water ratio with it,i was rewarded with a good slick protective shaving lather.

Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near bbs with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few dollops of The Real Shaving Co ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling devine.;)

I've heard good things about this stick and thanks to the generous @Blademonkey I've eventually gotten round to trying it, cheers Paul
And I must say, it's reputation is well deserved.
Happy Shaving one and all.
