Yes another French shaving soap and another interesting shaving soap bowl. The French certainly recognize that the Presentation is an important part of the product too! Here is the bowl next to my standard for the lather performance measure of four passes with my Vulfix Old Original #41:

Now for the head-on view of the soap:

This is a splendid soap. The fragrance is clean, clean, clean! If you are one for aromatherapy, this fragrance will add to your sense of well-being, if you are not, it will at the least add to your sense of delight. One of the sources of this soap, SpaShoppe (http://store.yahoo.com/spashoppe/bashdiwiso.html) identifies its content as
...features glycerin, shea butter and luzenac talcum (to fight razor irritation) blended in a smooth vegetable base with essential oils of linden and vervain.
I got an exceptionally smooth and close shave with all the comfort of any of the 3T's soaps. Contrary to a review I read elsewhere, as you can see it did not dry out and maintained a rich, creamy lather throughout the entire shave. As a plus, I also have the the nifty bowl as yet another item of decor in the shave shack! You can find this also at BonSavon (http://www.bonsavon.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=1500) (where I bought it) and other e-tailers. It comes in the bowl, as a refill, and also in an interesting wooden-boxed gift set accompanied by a redware-handled badger brush at SpaBox. (http://store.yahoo.com/spabox/bau243.html)
I close as I started with A Vôtre Santé! To Your Health!
