Thread: New Floris 89 and Elite formulation - Yuk!!!

Bought these two soaps couple of months ago - E P I C F A I L!!!

Weak lather, dissolves almost instantly from the face, no cushion, no glide, just have to ask yourself WTF they were thinking when they released this disaster.

At least with some soaps that get the boot, when you throw them, you can hear the thud as they land in the shower...this one, won't lather in the bowl, so why would it lather in the shower, off to the figurative "trash".

Reason for this post as in the 1st Tier Soaps and Creams thread, there was some talk about, "Saponification", letting the soaps get some air, and I've left some tin bowls of Le Pere Lucien out for a few weeks and one of them actually performed slightly better, that would be the Cologne / Fougere....can see how some air time would improve a soap, and as mentioned, might be a reason for the wooden bowls, does allow some air to get into the soaps.

So after leaving the Floris Elite and 89 out in the air for the last 6 weeks, nothing, nada, epic fail....actually kind of pee'd off to have purchased this expensive hard soap and to basically feel completely ripped off.

Like did no-one that worked there try the stuff?

Just finished reading lot of other reviews of this junk on several sites, and that's the verdict - junk.

So if you're thinking about purchasing this once giant of a soap, don't bother with the new stuff, it's expensive garbage, and if you are going to get some - go for the cream, I understand that actually does lather.
