I'd have to agree with Ryan here. I've been at this for a while, and have tried over 100 soaps and creams, While some are better than others, TGQ never really blew me away. The fragrances are unique and complex, but I didn't think the lather was all that great. Now....I do have a water softner. Maybe it works better with hard water, I don't know? I tried TGQ 3x including her shave cream. I'm the one that doesn't like it. Cavendish Black is the Tobacco based soap, I think. I do like the smell, so if I use it, I Uber it....Glycerin, Tallow, it doesn't matter, I like both....but....I really prefer Shave Creams to Soaps.....
La Occtaine was probably one of the better soaps I've tried in a while.....
P.S. I'm trying to show both sides of the coin here guys....Don't flame me bro.....!
