Geo. F. Trumper Eucris Shaving Soap in Bowl, 80g

I had high hopes but this soap bar just disappears once it's on your face You can froth it up all you like, but it vanishes within seconds.Smells great, but is pretty disappointing in other respects.

Smells good. Doesn't lather up great.love the wooden bowl.

I've seen a few reviews on other forums that are coming to same conclusion. Theres an indication they changed their formula, maybe a year or more ago, but who knows. Sydney waters pretty soft, so it should have had no problems.

No lather at all. Dissipates on your face in seconds.

Cream version in a tube works just fine. I've gone with that.

I know I have already reviewed this soap, but if this re-review is allowed, I'd like to share my experiences with others.

If you look at my original reivew, you will see that I commented about the lather quality. I since switched this soap from Bowl lathering to directly lathering on my face.

Maybe it was down to my bowl lathering technique, but since swapping to face lathering this soap has just gotten a whole heap better!

I can now produce a nice thick creamy lather (as I would with MWF or any other soap). I used to prefer the Eucris Shaving Cream over the soap, but I would say they are both on par.

For those struggling to get good lather out of this soap, try face lathering, or loading the brush with more soap than what you normally would!

Definatly worth the money! So much so, I bought a spare and will buy more soon as I run out!

Where to begin, I LOVE the Eucris scent! So much so, I have ordered the Deodorant and already have the shaving cream and body wash.

Like all the above, the packaging is "Black" and the wooden bowl also follows suit, which is nice considering they all match.

The scent is divine. From what I've read you either love it, or hate it! Me personally, I cant get enough of it.

When I first got the soap, I added some water to the bowl and allowed the soap to re-hydrate (left it for about 5 mins). I shaved with it for the first time tonight.

Although I wouldn't rate the lather quality up there like I would Mitchells Wool Fat, I was still able to produce a nice lather, but not one of the best. Like another reviewer, I found that it faded away.

However, that being said, I used a Simpsons Wee Scot to whip this up in a bowl, and had enough for 3 passes + touch ups! So its still up there as one of my favourites.

Overall I would buy this again. If you like Eucris scent, and dont mind having to work a bit more to get that lather perfect this ones for you!

Thanks Mensbiz!
