the tub of soap is already making its way down to Freddiep318ti. if someone along the way wants to send you a small sample, I don't think that'd be a problem.

As I sit here and think about the soaps that I have, and if I finish them off, I will have to wonder what awesome soaps will be on the market when I finish off what I have? If I ask for be part of the pass around, and love the soap, would that distract me from using up what I have now?
I think this is a cool pass around and will opt myself out, mostly because I need to put on some blinders when it comes to new, highly praised soaps.
Make sure you guys post how nice the soap is and what I'm missing!

Since it's ok with Andrew I'll send you a sample for scent.
As soon as it arrives I'll let you know, give a run, then send it down the line to the next. Thanks again for doing this!

Soap arrived today. I'll give it run and then contact the next person in line for their address.
Right off the bat I enjoy the scent. Reminds me of one of the Queen Charlotte Soaps scents but having trouble putting a finger on which one.

Alright. Gave it a run this morning so here's my thoughts. We've all been doing this long enough to know the whole YMMV so take this with grain of salt, shot of Jack, a honey bun warmed for 10 seconds in th microwave, or what ever pleases you.
Right of I found the scent very familiar. At first I though Queen Charlotte Soaps but I pinned it down to CCFM Southern Oud. Find it to be almost a dead ringer. Works for me since I enjoy the scent and was my follow up splash of choice.
Consistency I would say is right there with Strop Shoppe or Mystic Waters. It was very easy to lather and easily produced plenty of that for my 3 pass shave. If your wondering, I used my Wolfman SB with a Gillette Silver Blue blade. There was plenty of cushion but I felt the soap lacked in slickness like I get with MW or SV Soaps. Post shave was average for me and not drying.
All in all its a nice soap but I personally do not find it worth its price point. I have plenty that, for me, are just better performers all around and cost less than half what they want for the Nuavia. Again, this is just my humble opinion and one should always judge for themselves. I feel technique wise I've done this long enough now that it's not one I would have to tinker with to dial in. Seems pretty user friendly and straight forward if that makes any sense to you with soap.
Thank you Andrew for allowing me a chance to try it. It is very much appreciated! No need for a 2nd go or anything so I will contact next on the list and have this in the mail tomorrow!

I know I've said this before, but to me it smells exactly like RazoRock The Stallion. And I agree with you Freddiep318ti. It is a really good soap, but not worth the cost of admission.
