First time trying A&E shave soap. After a few shaves I can say this stuff is very slick.It took me a few attempts to get the lather just right. Because this soap lathers very thick, it’s important to not over load your brush, (I face lather), and keep it hydrated. The trade off such a thick and slick lather is that it doesn’t rinse as clean and easily as some thinner soaps I’ve used. Maybe you’ll have a different experience. In closing, it’s a luxurious experience. Heavily scented, thick and slippery lather. The scent evolves as you go, it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. I was hoping this scent “Chasing the Dragon” would have a little more spice and floral notes. The rose stands out for a very enjoyable experience but is soon eclipsed by heavy wood tones, (I think agar), for a strong and lasting oud scent. A little overwhelming for me but not a deal breaker. I was hoping for something more unique than this scent… that’s where Strawberry Fields came in, but that’s a different review.
Ariana and Evans is the best
This was my first A&E purchase and my first tallow soap ever. The lather is incredible--thick and luxurious. I was a bit unsure of the fragrance at first. It was more flowery than I was expecting, but it settles in nicely throughout the day, and my wife, who is not a fan of strong fragrances, likes it. Can't wait to try some of A&E's other soaps in the future!
Got this product twice, the smell is unique, pleasant and intoxicating. One i bought months ago and one i bought recently.
Love the scent. Definitely a masculine a mature scent. When I 1st opened it I was a little unsure but after using it I love it. Also ordered a sample of the edp scent and ill be ordering a full bottle soon
