the smell is unlikely to be mildew, shaving creams have similar ingredients to soaps and however long you leave a soap they never go mouldy, they either dry out or go mushy depending where you leave it i've noticed in castle forbes shaving cream an under tone which could also be described as earthy ...

the coates limes scent is not my favorite but rehydrate it with a spot of rose water and you can improve the scent PS, if you really dont like it just ask to send it back, www.grooming-health.com is one of the larger UK venders so they will have a customer service policy and will accept returns (in ...

'Shaving soaps' are shaving soaps. Don't bother even messing with anything that's not labeled as such
has anybody tried Burts Bee wax shaving soap, it says 'Shaving Soap' and cost £12 but you'ld be better off shaving with Imperial Leather hand soap

if it dries out can i just add a little water? maybe i'll wait for this stuff to come before i buy more
its odds on to be a bit dried out when you get it, every tub i've gotten has been, but if you just sprinkle some water on it the night before you 1st shave with it it should be fine
