Palmolive Classic stick -- as indicated yesterday.

I never am disappointed in this product --- as far as soaps go, it's as minimal as it gets, while producing lather as good as anything other than MWF and DR Harris.

Lesismor Almond Soap - first use of Tim's homemade - nice lather and scent for a shave comparable to any of the Italian soft soaps I have used over the past couple of years. Tim's interpretation of Almond is quite good, neither to sweet or to dry, just right down the middle according to my nose. I am not to big on artisan soaps but I do believe in supporting our own fellow's in the efforts to add to the community. The generous 4oz. soap cake was a bit crumbly but pressed easily into one of my shaving bowls and has firmed up nicely overnight from a practice lather last night and this mornings shave.
Good shaving,

Gary

Lesismor almond shaving soap. Used it twice so far; reminds me of Acca Kappa.

Williams shave soap. Good, protective lather and a close, comfortable shave. Unfortunately this cake had been in storage long enough to mute it's scent but other than that things were fine.
