The Obie Memorial First Tier Soaps and Creams Thread.

[JOB15]

Today i went up to Taylors Of Old Bond St. and purchased this soap. My intentions were to buy a ceramic bowl, unfortunately their ceramic soap bowls (£30) with lid are tiny, for use with a 57g puck. I hummed and harred then decided just buy a normal sized puck and if i want ceramic bowls then i can go to D.R Harris who sell beautiful ceramic soap bowls, full sized.

I just made a lather with the soap which has a poor fragrance imo. It was quick to lather and seemed to dissipate quickly. On the plus side it has excellent slickness . At the moment it seems not worthy of a shave however my first impressions concerning soaps are normally wrong..
I have yet to find a hard soap the can stand up against Czech & Speake or Institut Karite .. Searching is the fun part though..
Cheers
