Wow! I decided to get a puck of Czech & Speake soap after really loving their cologne sampler. I got a replacement puck of the Oxford & Cambridge soap from SRD (since I didn't want to spend another $100 for a bowl). Yesterday I tried it out for the first time and I must say, it was great! The later really exploded straight away for me. It was a very nice slickness, provided wonderful glide, and was very comfortable. I'm still a relative beginner so I'm not the fastest shaver but the soap didn't dry out on me at all. Sometimes I have to re-lather part of my face toward the end of my passes but that was no problem with this. The scent is also wonderful. The lavender-mint combination is great. It's a lighter scent than the Oxford & Cambridge cologne but just as nice. I'd recommend trying the Czech & Speake soaps out if you get the chance.
