Price: Ouch!
Presentation: Nice! Purchased from MdC direct. Arrived with a personalized note and a Fougere soap bar sample.
The jar is heavy thick glass and beautiful. The stickers are well placed/centered. Inside the jar they put protective styrofoam, which is good when shipped long distances. Lifting it off you see the large circumference of the cream and it looks glorious.
Latherability: Less than 4 swirls with my badger and it exploded with lather, so I stopped. It was enough to last me three passes. I found the soap to be neither thirsty or too soft. Just right.
Performance: Brilliant. Magical. All the stuff you guys said before. Easily protected my skin from the blade and had plenty of slip. Didn't dry quick. My face is very soft and supple after, I would say it's not necessarily moisturizers, but felt healthy.
Overall: Definitely a great soap. No doubt about it. The price would make me buy it once, and since it lasts for a while I would enjoy it. But doubt would buy it a second time. There are so many soaps out there to be faithfully married to this one IMO.
Scent: Notice I left this until after, because it's quite subjective really. When I opened the jar first thing I thought of was: ice cream! The smell of ice cream when still in the fridge. Later I got herbal notes of Lavender and greens. I prefer clean, non-herbal scents so I would imagine this would be a nice change once in a while but not a favorite.
