You probably haven't tried the new Musgo Real soap. You didn't miss a thing. Back on point, the Haslinger is good soap. I had a puck of the coconut, and soon decided I didn't care for that version of coconut. I was going to get a puck of a different fragrance, but haven't gotten around to that sinc...

I have great difficulty getting decent lather from MWF, and have had one or two soaps over the years! It suits me to blame my hard water. Haslinger soaps were remarkably good in the old days (I think there may have been a reformulation since) and I'd be willing to give this one a go. I'll be able t...

After lathering my SRD Opus X today for the 35th day in a row, before I shaved, I rinsed out the brush and used my new tube of Proraso Blue for the shave of the day. This is clearly an excellent product. I'd expect nothing less from Proraso. It lived up to all of the early positive reviews, and the...

From Evyap Industries, the producer of the world-renowned Arko shaving line, we have the Man's Sport cream. Hey, not bad at all! Ease of lathering: 10/10--A hell of a good latherer and FAST! Longevity of lather: 10/10--Perfect stability. General skincare: 7/10--Not as moisturizing or soothing as the...

Jeff, I've got a question about the Proraso Blue. One of the guys who seldom posts here indicated elsewhere that he thought the Blue lathers poorly. He says it took twice as much product to make a lather comparable to the other Proraso tubes. How do you react to that? I think I'll be receiving a tu...

It's made in either Romania or Israel. I'm not sure.

I first purchased Palmolive stick at the Tesco in Bury, Lancs. I purchased it because it was so cheap -- and figured worst case scenario, I was spending so little, it was a risk worth taking. Of course, I discovered upon use that in fact it was an unbelievably great product. I now stock up on a few...

Gary, this is such an inspiration to me - thanks!

Never heard of it!

I've always enjoyed your UK/Euro soap and cream reviews on this forum (and others). You have championed their cause and bought them to the attention of a large number of shavers who might never have even heard of them otherwise. Keep up the good work chap! Thanks my friend. I will continue to do my...

Thanks. You are a real gentleman.

I find the cream has a very nice scent of a cologne from Europe or Israel which I used a long time ago. I cannot remember the name of the cologne, however.

Not licorice, well at least not to my nose!

No such thing as a soap that's worthless. It can always be used as an example of a terrible soap. Trust me, to try to make a lather with this dreck is an effort and a half, and when you finally get it lathered up, the lather disappears when it sees the razor. A soap like this - pfuiiiiiiiii! :evil:

Jeff, you express yourself brilliantly. I look forward to reading your posts, especially your reviews. Thanks so much, Gary. I have a lot of trouble with my English speech. I think in French or Hebrew, so to speak English is a big effort for me. My accent also is terrible and it refuses to go away....

That's very nice from you - I appreciate it. My English has improved a little, but it is still not fluent. My brother-in-law sometimes helps me to write these reviews. Jeff, I've wondered from time to time if there might be "ghost-writer" standing by every once in a while. My compliments ...

I just used it again this morning - what a pleasure!

I have about 200 of these little gems stockpiled. Well, at £0.49 a stick ... that's $0.80 ... it'd be rude not to. I suppose to us Brits it's like Williams is to US shavers ... 'cept Palmolive actually works. :) Wowwwwwww - 200 sticks! That's almost have of all my total soaps and creams! :) Good jo...

I wouldn't be surprised if they were the same item!

Thanks so much, Tye. I should also mention that I am also very active on 2 European wetshaving forums which are Gut Rasiert which is a German group, and a Greek group.
