SOTD: Soap Goddess Participation Thread 10/29 - 11/4

Hi All,

I'm posting this a bit early so I don't have to deal with time zones.

Please use this thread to post what you've used for "Soap Goddess" Shave Week... a week (dates above) dedicated to our various soap goddesses, Colleen and the Sues. Use as much and as many of their products as you can and post your usage here.

Can I get an "Amen"?

And Mods, can I get a sticky?

Please do not post here if you haven't used a Sue or Colleen product in your regiment. Thank you!

Please underline or bold your goddess-related products.

Comments on the soap.

1. Great scent needs more power .

2. Very, Very Slick.

3. Great moisturizing.

3. Lather faded fast, only good for 1 pass, you need to start over to get a second pass so on and so on.

4. I love slick soap but if you are someone who needs cushion and not slickness, you are not going to like it.

All and all a good soap (for me), good job!
