Mike's Soap is a great local product. Both the shave and shower soaps
are nice. The soap is soft enough that you can mold it into any container with
your hands. Lathers well with the Zach/Marco method, 60 second load, face
lather. Shown are pictures of load, after face lathering, and after two passes.
I find you need to load these small batch soaps longer than say DR Harris, but
the lather is solid and the shave very comfortable. The first couple times I
tried using the bar as a shave stick, but could not get a thick lather. You
need to load the brush well, and then the soap comes to life.
Mike's communication and packaging are excellent. The best compliment I can
give is that I hope Mike, and other like vendors, don't get too big thats they
can't keep up with the demand. I will purchase both the shave and shower soaps
again.
