Scent is slightly overpowering when sniffing the naked puck – much like sticking my nose into the bottle of Krampert’s Finest aftershave – but mellows considerable when lathered.
Not particularly thirsty soap, meaning I have to dial back on the amount of water I start out with. Not a bad thing per see, but something to keep in mind.
Upper tier as far as moisturising and slickness goes, but could in my opinion have a bit more cushioning. Added points for being easy to clean out of the brush, unlike a number of big-name offerings.
So far it’s a definite thumbs up!
