Glad the Noble Otter worked out for you. It's one of my favorites as well. Let us know how the others work once you get to them.
I will! Have you used something like the maggard? What would be the best method to work that? I wouldn’t think a wet brush would be good for the product when loading that. Should I just scoop some out? Also I got an aftershave, Barrister and Mann Fougère Angelique Aftershave Splash..100% recommend if you enjoy the noble otter vanille scent.Glad the Noble Otter worked out for you.

Sounds good. I’ll probably put like a nickel sized piece of the maggard in when I try it.I tried the Maggard branded soap in a sample several years ago but found it a bit drying for my skin type, if I remember correctly. I should see if I still have it and try it again.
In regards to lathering, my preference is to scoop the soap/cream out into a bowl and lather there. I don't like introducing water to my soaps unless they are hard soaps.
I use a Timeless bowl which is very economical; $12 new, $5 for a scratch and dent. It also works very well unless you have a large brush in the 28-30mm range. It's not the widest bowl.
The Noir Et Vanille is one that I also, initially, was not a huge fan of. I didn't hate it but wasn't all that excited about it.I ended up getting 3 different soaps to try

Maggard Razors Limes and Bergamot Shave Soap with Tallow.
I will also be going back to the feather blades. Been digging through some old crap of mine and found an old box of silver blue blades I never opened. May try them as well
In my glad I’m not the only one. Have you used the original before the change? I’ve never used a cream in my life, however the Mallard looks to be a stiff cream rather than a soap. I can scoop some up with my finger.
