Another one I tried from the top-tier list Obie made.
Great Soap. Deserves the great reputation it has. Does everything a good soap should do. Nice strong manly scent. To my nose kind of earthy peppery. Will be in my rotation from now on. Just my $.02. Ken
Love c&s 88. 3017 a puck right now. Great stuff
Yep it's in my rotation. It's a top tier soap.
That's the one traditional hard soap I never got around to trying for some reason, keeps popping up in posts a lot lately, maybe its time to think about this one finally. Thanks for your review !
Shaved with CS Oxford and Cambridge this morning.
A top performing soap and worth the price.
Right you are. Czech & Speak, in both scents, oozes with class. I am quite fond of this soap, especially since it does everything it is supposed to do, framing it in intoxicating scents. Good stuff.Quote:

Don't forget their lavender scent too. it's very nice.
Yes, Spendur, I forgot about that. Everything with the name Czech & Speake spotlights quality.Quote:

I've got the C&S Oxford & Cambridge, but true to my word, I haven't used it yet until I get the herd down to acceptable levels!
Edit...
My resolve is weakening, and I don't know how much longer I can hold out!;)
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.Quote:

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