    Default AOS LEMON SOAP

    I just got some Art of Shaving Lemon EO shaving soap. It's awesome. Wonderful tallow, creamy latheer. slick protective close shave, and nice creamy lemon scent. This rocks.

    I like this soap too. The citrus isn't terribly strong to my nose, but the performance is top notch. Creamy, thick lather and just the right balance of cushion and slickitude. Try the Sandalwood too. It's excellent!

    You guys are NOT helping my ADs......


    AOS (not sure what scent), or C&S 88......?

    Any feedback on that dilema, Loudee?

    AOS hands down. Just get one of the scnets, because the unscented smells like wet cardboard (unless you only plan to use it with say scented KMF creams for uberlather). The C&S 88 is very different, but the AOS Lemon is very awesome.

    Luckily I didn't read this, otherwise I'd have to go out and buy something....




    My wife likes the SCS sandalwood aftershave sample I got, so maybe I'll try that AOS flavor.

    Thanks!

    I've not really paid much attention to AoS soaps. I have tried the unscented cream as part of the Ingrown Hair kit, but other than that not touched the soaps.

    What would you guys compare their soaps to, just so I can get an idea of what to expect?

    I would compare it to any of the high-end English soaps - DR Harris, Trumper, etc. It is tallow based, and they only use EOs for scent.
