Thread: Thank you, Obie!

A little while ago, I came across Obie's suggestions on a couple of soaps (in the what is your favourite soap thread)

As a result, I picked up a puck each of: Provence de Sante, Tabac, and Institute Karite.

Now, the Tabac has been widely suggested, but the other three were a complete mystery. However, I liked the way Obie described them, so I took the plunge.

The Provence was OK. Not another MWF for me, but OK. I like the scent of it the best of the three.

Tabac was also good. Didn't mind the scent, and had good properties, IMO. Cushion and glide were nearly equal to MWF, but I felt dry after the shave. All that said, I used it on a day when I was in a rush, and thus only used my DE--perhaps not a fair shake for it.

Institute Karite was WONDERFUL. Though the scent was probably my least favourite of the three (little too floral for my tastes), the cushion and glide were on par with MWF, and it came close to being as moisturizing as MWF. In fact, I may well prefer it in the warmer weather. Wonderful find!

Thanks again, Obie!
