I don't particularly like really strong fragrances in soaps. If I don't detect an aroma while lathering it doesn't bother me. Performance in a soap is my number one priority. I think I'd be pleased with Haslinger. Thanks.

It lathers easy, its slick, it protects, its got a nice post shave... great soap. I think you'll really like it. Just the scents are a bit simple and not very prominent to not there at all... then again its not going to interfere with your aftershave or EdT.

Shave Secret
X3 Slant

From the quality I can only agree. Without problems froth, very creamy and oily foam and excellent skin protection. After shaving, the skin feels very clean, no signs of distension.
Compared with the also different scented Italian soft Soap of RazoRock or Tech Fung Sing makes the Panna Crema on my skin a better impression. It is one of my top 5!

Thank you very much for each one. All contributions are greatly appreciated.

@ram57 - I like that one. Just enough touch to give it the crystaline quality.
@blexa - Nice backdrop to the shot.
@alfredus - Texture galore. Excellent depth of field. Effective color manipulation.
@Cash_Stronomer - Marvelous soft focus. The brush is almost cottony.
@UngerWoo - Looks like a fine Bay Rum shave.
@shm - Artistic alignment, Søren. Good angle for the shot.
@Bobcat - An eye-catching photo, Bob. Good to see the Wilkinson doing so well.
@120inna55 - Love the POV shot, Matt. Excellent assessment.

@Red Rider - Fine overhead view. Nice looking GEM Damaskeene.
@razorguy - Picture perfect as they say. The mother of pearl is beautiful.
@blzrfn - Nicely done! I really like your props. Does the clone shave well for you? I've only used mine once and need to get a real feel for it.
@Rxdude - Lovely subdued coloring. Nice Rudy Vey handle and fetching scales. Do love that mug!

@cmh737 - Can't go wrong with a Tabac shave, Chris!

I hope your weekend has been pleasant. And I hope you're able to extend it with Columbus Day.

I'm looking forward to this coming week's postings. Soon I'll close this thread and open a new one.

Until tomorrow, gents. Be seeing you.
