I picked up some Caswell Massey shaving soap while on vacation. It was from their 1752 collection and came in a nice wooden bowl. It looks great, but I must say I am disappointed with it. I have a hard time working up a lather with it and it dries out very quickly. My ivory soap in a mug works much better for me, and Proraso is still my favorite. I expected better performance for that price. Anybody like Caswell Massey? Maybe it's my technique that needs improving.
