My second review is Absinthe by Martin de Candre.
Ease of lathering is legendary. That said, I've yet to meet a soap that I struggled to lather. (Notable exception: Hotel in Las Vegas, I couldn't generate lather with any soap)
Longevity of lather: – Excellent stability.
General skincare: – I find the overall shave experience to be excellent. I'm happy very happy with performance, and slickness. The soap rinses clean with no residue which I love.
Scent– An amazing scent profile that I find very refreshing. Fennel and Spearmint are two notes that I can easily detect. For those that prefer soaps for specific seasons, this one for me is a year round soap. If I could only choose one soap, it would be Absinthe.
Price: The most expensive soap I've ever purchased. In my experience I've finished two 200g jars and each lasted well over a year of daily shaves so I find that while the upfront cost is high, the overall cost becomes more economical. By comparison I've finished other soaps in as little as 30 shaves.
Would I buy again? Yes definitely!! I find this to be a top quality product in all aspects.
