Used Soapy Bathman, Spring Orchard for the first time today. Didn't test lather, went straight into using it for today's shave, and it didn't disappoint.
Soap cost CAD20.00 plus shipping for 250ml. Plastic jar was full.
The soap itself seems like it is relatively hard. I pressed my finger down into the soap and it didn't make a dent like some other soaps. Smelled good. I like the lemongrass scent in the soap, balanced out by the other scents.
Lathered up easily with my Omega 10066. Face lathered with no problem. The lather was thick, dense, and slick. The feeling of the lather is similar to Stirling. Had a very nice sheen. When I pressed it between my first fingers and hands it didn't dissipate at all, could feel how protective the lather would be.
Two pass shave today. Blade glided over my face easily. After each pass I would feel my face and there was some residual slickness left. I didn't try to blade buff or an ATG pass today. Just a WTG and XTG.
This is a serious artisan soap, and I think it is worth trying. This is made in Canada (Langley, BC).
Included in the shipment were samples of Crisp Bay Rum, Just Bananas, and Smoky Bacon. Looking forward to trying out these samples.
