As with all LNHC soaps, Plaide Cloimhe easily whips into a thick, creamy lather. Cushion and glide are superb. Post-shave feel is soft, moisturized. Plaide Cloimhe reminds me of Green Irish Tweed somewhat, though it is much earthier. A rich, earthy aroma predominates this excellent soap. I'm always very impressed with Lisa's products. Try this soap for your own shaving pleasure.
