Firstly, many thanks to Rev-O for passing on a sample of this for me and a few others to try out.
Firstly the aroma. Very strong citrus smell, as you would expect. First thing in the morning the smell of the soap can be just as important as the feel of it. And this was very refreshing, couldn't wait to lather it up.
I prefer to face lather, first load up my badger (cheap sub £10 ebay generic brush, but works for me) in my palm. It instantly get up a good lather, brush appeared to be well loaded.
But as soon as I put it on my face to complete the lathering the foam went very thin and I struggled to get a good thick lather.
Pass one, and half way through the lather is disappearing. Quickly reapply more from the brush (not something I ever need to do).
Pass two, the same, the lather is virtually disappearing as I shave.
I quickly hunt round for my bowl and get a good lather build up in that, but still the lather goes from 'quite creamy' to gone in a couple of minutes. And there was nothing left in my brush to squeeze out for a final 'tidy up'.
So overall, nice smell, terrible lather.
But I will percevere and try it out a couple more times, but so far its not convinced me to buy any.
I would love to hear how others are finding it.
