Review and pictures by TeisteTeiste ha scritto: This shaving soap reminds me of the old Santa Maria La Novella (the lanolin version) shaving cream , since the skin care and the easiness to make lather is very , very high.
The lather is extremely slick , something I could noticed right away on my first shave with it (and I like it , to be honest).This soap contains also Kaolin , which makes the razor glide with no effort at all.I didnt suffered from any skin dryeness (I didnt used the pre shave oil) , either any irritation or redness.Excellent !
If we combine a scent which is simply superb , with a great skin care properties , we have a shaving soap could be playing on a major league.OK , contains SLS , an ingredient that could be put some people off , but the lather I can get from it , the skin care , and the scent are total winners on my personal book of preferences.
Is it better than the Portuguese shaving creams like O Melhor , Veleiro , Top Secret...? Maybe not , but its scent is much better than any of those shaving creams , but the Musgo Real Classic.For me shaving its a time to pamper myself , and to enjoy a shaving cream or soap with a very nice scent is a must these days , and this Portus Cale shaving soap fits the bill perfectly.A shaving soap much better in skin care and scent than its brother , the Antiga Barbearia de Bairro one , and could be found for 26 dollars , which is cheaper than some of the UK shaving creams , like Truefitt and Hill and Geo F Trumper.
