Today though, I used it with some Tabac after shave (not used after shave in ages although I am familiar with the Tabac scent). It stung, but nonetheless, the shave was still close and smooth.

What I am getting at is when we review soaps - and creams alike - we tend to not mention what's good to be used as an after shave or moisturiser, etc. Therefore I propose that we spend just a little bit more time thinking about what works good with a soap or cream. Does it work with something better than other stuff? Is there something you would avoid using with it? Obviously, some scents/products don't work well together, but identifying this alongside a review of a product will help other users in future, IMHO.
Good point - we can call this the compatibility factor and can be graded along with price, effectiveness, durability, and enjoyability on the 4-hoglahoo grading scale. 3 hoglahoos would indicate an above average and exceptional product while 4 hoglahoos would be reserved for that product which exemplifies the fine and distinguished consumer product palate of hoglahoo(tm) himself. One red hoglahoo wil be sufficient to warn others of a cheaply and shamefully produced brand. The symbol for one red hoglahoo shall be embarrassingly received and is represented well by the below image:
