Results: I got this C&S 88 soap on Friday and used it today. It is tallow based and the lather incredibly rich :dropjaw:. Recently we have raved about French or Spanish soaps being the best of the best, but English soaps don't their day in the sun. This one is amongst the BEST (if not "THE" best) English soap I have tried so far. Bar none :nj!!!! The lather is ultra luxurious (MdC/La Toja: watch out. You've got a contender in your midst) . It is not a cheap soap, especially with the aluminum dish, but well worth the price, imho. This DOVO 55 Maxterpiece had a blast playing in this luxurious lather. An amazing shave. I can already tell it's going to be a wonderful Sunday:tu. I love everything about this shave. The lather: incredible! The blade: unreal! The brush: what can I say? |

This Wostenholm, which I snagged from my favorite ebay seller, is a sweet shaver. Combined with the Acqua Di Parma shave cream, my beard ran up the white flag from the moment the blade touched my face.
Have a great Sunday gents... I most certainly will.
