Henri et Victoria Shaving Soap For Men | Smooth Shave, Lathers Up Nicely, Long-Lasting Scent | Canadian Made by Skilled Artisan 114 g (4 oz) (Absinthe 2pcs)

I tried quite a few soaps before I stumbled upon the Cognac and Cubans. When I tried to reorder it was out of stock, so I tried the Duc de Santal version. Though barely, it is now my favorite. Both have great scents that are not overpowering but last quite a while, especially when paired with the aftershave. The soap lubricates better for me than the tallow soaps I've used. The lasting but subtle scent may be my next favorite thing. I'm not one to smell like I bathe in fragrance, and these products preform quite well.

This is my third H&V soap; I also have their Lime in the standard vegan base, and Cognac and Cuban Cigars in the triple milled tallow base. While the standard base is very good, I consider the tallow base to be exceptional; I have over 50 soaps and creams, and I would put the performance of this base at or near the top. Easy to lather; plenty of slickness and cushion; leaves the skin feeling great post-shave.And then there's the scent!!! Duc du Santal is an amazing sandalwood scent. Which doesn't say a lot as there is a HUGE range of scents lumped under the "sandalwood" description, most of which I'm not fond of. But this has a sweet, clean, refreshing scent that just bowls me over. Cognac & Cuban Cigars used to be in a tie with two other soaps (both ouds) for top spot, but they are now a distant second to this one. Several months later, I'm still very much in love with it.Highly, highly recommended.

Henri et Victoria has become my favorite brand of shave products and Absinthe might be my favorite of their scents. The vaguely anise scent of the liquor is really prominent, vaguely like licorice but more herbal.Hopefully amazon gets in the after shave balm of the same scent.

Has a tinge of chemical smell to it. Unlike other soaps. My DE does NOT glide as smooth as other soaps. Really disappointed.

Smooth shaving experience and great smell
