I can tell you I'm very happy with the Sandalwood soap I got from Taylor of Old Bond Street. Ray's Classic shaving soaps are very good and at their price, they're a great value, but I do have to say that paying 3 times more for the Taylor of Old Bond Street soap turned out to be money well spent. I don't mind paying more for a really good product and I feel that's exactly what I got.
I think you'll love the stuff you're getting from them and I'm anxious to hear what you think about it compared to others you've tried. I'm always open minded about trying new stuff.
