Incredible lather, 9.13.2011

Reviewer: TedK (Fredericksburg, VA)

Best lather of my soaps and creams (Truefitt, Queen Charlotte) and they're darn good lather makers too. I dropped this a star because it smells like the disinfectant used by the National Park Service in cleaning the bathrooms and outhouses. Yup, the lime smells more like fresh pine soap disinfectant. I'd have taken more stars off for the pine smell, but the lather is really superb and I don't need a preshave oil with it.

Really a hybrid between soap and a cream. It's that thick! Love the scent and it builds a nice thick lather that is very slick. My new found love!
