G.B.S Men’s Shaving Soap Pack 97% All Natural Enriched With Shea Butter & Glycerin, Creates Rich Lather Form, 3 Oz Each Nourishes Skin Smooth Clean Shave Pack of 4 Different Scents

This soap needs a lot of water to start. You soak it in hot water for a few minutes, pour out, and add more water than other soaps need as you go and it is functional. Barely. I've gotten similar lather from a bar of Irish Springs. The lather itself is great when you load the brush and apply it, it's actually feels and protects really well. But before I can even get 1/3 of the way through a shaving pass on my face it dissipates. Less water it doesn't lather at all, more water and it explodes in lather, yet it goes on the face and starts to disappear in less than a minute. I look into the shaving mug and it goes from half-full to nothing but the puck (zero lather) in the same time frame.I suspected this was a hard water issue so I tried distilled water. A little better, but it still dissipates before I can even do half of my face. It provides okay cushion against the razor when it's lathered up but once it's gone it's not like Cremo (which goes invisible but still works) because you lose that slippery protection too. This led to a few weepers due to my protection just disappearing before my eyes.Last up is the scent. There is none. The bay rum smelled like a scent-free soap. The others had a scent so mild I couldn't even ascertain what they were supposed to be. I think this is either an old batch that lost it's scent or a batch that a worker forgot to add the scent to.I spent too much time re-applying over and over each time I tried this stuff. I really wanted this to work but it just didn't perform. There are other options like Proraso, Clubman, and Men's Soap Company (their bay rum is great) that are all in this ~$10 price range and they perform so much better even with the hard water where I live. Granted those brands are pricier per ounce than this. That budget/price excuse goes out the window when Williams Mug Soap is cheaper yet works and smells much better.

I enjoy using this shave soap. The smell is pleasant and it lathers up nicely in the cup with my brush. I am not sold on its durability of suds as I tend to have to reapply about halfway through my shave since most of the lather has dissipated before I finish shaving.But I have used worse.

Great scent, lathers easy, no reaction on the skin. The lather is light thought compared to others I have tried. For the price, I would purchase again. If you are looking for more lather, try another brand, but this works for everyday shaving (6 days a week for me) without nicks.

Does not create a good lather. Too foamy. Will not buy again.

Love love the scents !! To bad not strong or long lasting.

Soap does not hold a lather, does not fit in tray, leaves skin feeling dry.

Smells great and decent moisture. Does tend to need to be refreshed periodically for drying out though, still a great shave soap.

Lather did not last. Did not receive a response from GSB about satisfaction of thier product.
