Another one that's been on my radar for too long - definitely giving it a try now!

This soap is not a favorite of mine by a long shot. I keep waiting for the lather to be fantastic and, from my experience, it is middle of the road; nothing special at all. The scent is awful to my nose; even Tabac (which produces a superior lather to no. 88) has a more tolerable scent.
But, obviously, this is a well regarded soap. What makes this activity so fun!

I'm with you on that one - really disappointed with that one. The Oxford and Cambridge was much better IMO.

Oh well, that's what makes this hobby great, one persons MDC is anothers Williams, or Pinaud....
