How does the Eshave soaps compare to the creams?
Are they comparable to the other French soaps?
Pre' de Provence?
Provence Sante'

Jim, I must say that the eShave soap produces a extremely slick lather, is it worth the hefty price tag? I think it is a little to early in the game for me to answer this. However, I do think that the eShave ASB's will remain in the rotation, along with the Floral cream

The ASB had an odd consistency when I put it on. Felt a bit greasy I guess...but a couple minutes later it was all gone. 3 hours later and my face feels great.

A morning shave is okay but I miss that feeling of looking forward to an evening shave. Back to the PM shave I go.

How would you rate the AoS Sandalwood and the C&E Sandalwood (I know you tried both )

I love the AoS and just tried the C&E today. The AoS seems to last longer to me but the C&E smells better.

C&E:

I don't like any of their scents.

eshave white tea cream
qed lemon verbena tonic
eshave white tea asb

i love the smell of the white tea cream and asb.

tried some different settings on the adjustable. Did a reduction pass at 4. Next reduction pass was at 5. Did a ATG/cleanup pass at 6. I think I hit the sweet spot with this blade because i had no irritation even while dialing up the setting, and the shave is very close!
