Very Nice
I first tried solid shaving soap after I tired of driving over mountains only to find my shaving kit filled with the foam from a leaky can. Solid shaving soap not only solved the leaky can problem it has a comparable price lasts longer takes up a fraction of the space and works every bit as well -- better when used with a brush (and even better than that with a proper up and down brush stroke.)
Colonel Ichabod Conk Lime Shave Soap is a glycerine based soap that is more expensive than but superior to non glycerine based soaps such as Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap - 2.5 oz or Williams Mug Shaving Soap - 1.7 Oz; however Colonel Conk is slightly irritating it stings just a bit if you leave it on too long (but stops stinging as soon as you wash it off.)
Colonel Conk is not as good -- or as expensive -- as the magnificent European shaving creams like Proraso Eucalyptus Shaving Cream Tube yet it gives great lather and a buttery smooth shave with no need for aftershave (though you may still want one) and leaves a very nice scent that is light does not overpower and goes well with the classic light or citrus colognes.
Like all such soaps Conk fits perfectly into a Dark Wood Shave Bowl with Lid. Make sure to use with plenty of hot water a double edge razor and a good badger hair brush and be sure to protect your brush with a good stand too such as a Nickel Shaving Brush Holder.More detail ...
