Hey all,

I have three soaps for the moment, TABAC, TOBS (almond) and the body shop shaving soap.

The TABAC offers a great shave (the best really), but TOBS smells so damn good I want to eat it. The Body Shop is very good also but tabac offers by far the best shave (not smell).

Now I have a problem when brushing up with TOBS, does anyone know if they use a lot of essentials oil or some kind of stuff that would give a slightly unpleasant stingy feeling when applying to your face? I am not at all quickly allergic to stuff, and have tried a trillion soaps. When I apply TOBS it feels like I have a slight razor burn but ... before the shave. Just wondering. I thought it was due to not resting my face long enough, but I haven't shaved for three days now (what a challenge!) so it's definitely not that. The last thing it could perhaps be is my brush, but I highly doubt that as I don't get that sensation with any of the other soaps.

Anyone experience anything similar?
