Shaving Soap WSP Formula T (Sandalwood) 4 Fl Oz Made with Shea Butter & Tallow

I originally ordered Mahogany however recieved Tobacco. I messaged WSP and they promptly shipped out the correct order at no extra charge. Perhaps this was more on purpose then by accident because the Tobacco scent is incredible. I'll review them both here.The Mahogany is a hard soap and the scent is light and subtle as most Mahogany scents seem to be, very pleasant, I like it. The lather however is what makes this soap. It produces a rich creamy full lather, the best of all the soaps I have. It allows your razor to glide over your face for a nice close shave and leaves your face smooth and soft with minimal suds. This is currently my favorite soap to shave with.Tobacco... WOW! What an amazing scent, of all my soaps this scent is by far my favorite. A powerful masculine sweet tobacco. However I am conflicted because unlike the Mahogany, this is a soft creamy soap that I find easier to scoop a little out and and swirl around my shave bowl to use. I'm not a fan of creamy shave soaps. This however works better then others I have used, not as good as the solid Mahogany though. I will continue to buy this as long as they make it cause I love the scent.So far the pros of each soap outweigh the cons and I look forward to trying more from WSP in the future.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have been wet shaving since '09 and have tried 20+ different shaving soaps and creams. But this product gave me, without a doubt, the MOST COMFORTABLE SHAVE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED!I shaved with a Merkur Futur safety razor with a Feather double edge blade (the best brand you can buy), and used a silvertip badger hair brush to prep and apply this soap. The smell of the soap is nice and very understated, and the lather was on par with any other quality soap. But when I passed the razor down my cheek I was completely surprised at the feel. Imagine, if you will, lathering up your face and drawing a closed-comb safety razor without a blade in it across your face. That's exactly what this felt like! Smooth as silk and ZERO irritation. I had to check again to make sure the blade was set up correctly in the safety razor.After completing the first pass (with the "grain"), I re-lathered and shaved against the grain. Again, smooth as silk! Usually shaving around my Adam's apple yields irritation and razor burn but not with this soap. Pure bliss! Zero irritation!Do yourself a big favor and order a tin of WSP Formula T shaving soap. I cannot wait to try the other scents.

This soap is hands down my favorite shave soap. I like the smell, but the soap itself is incredible. My skin never feels dry and it provides a nice rich thick lather. The shave is very smooth. The scent is a little antique is the best way I can describe it. It's complex, and reminds me of my grandpa. I find it hard to describe but it is not fruity or flowery. It's just there. This has become my go-to shave when dressing up or donning a suit. Definitely find the smell a cooler weather scent. It's a "gentleman" in a tub! You need a pair of had stitched classy tan brogues to go with it!The best part with this soap is it is a artisan soap. I contacted the company with a issue I had with a scent I had of theirs in their vegan line. They quickly replaced it and were prompt with their response. This company has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced.

I have used various shaving soaps in the past with mixed results. This soap is by far the best soap I have used. No problem working a good lather, very good cushion and lubrication. It actually hydrated my face rather than dry it out. I shaved with a 1964 Gillette slim adjustable loaded with a feather blade with 4 shaves on it. I had the handle adjusted to 3 for with the grain and 4 against. This is the closest shave I have ever had and it’s due in no small part to the soap. Feather blades are very sharp but rather harsh. This soap tamed that.I purchased the Gaelic Tweed scent. The scent is a nice evocation of Green Irish Tweed. The tallow of the soap does deepen the scent and give it a fatty note, but the scent on its own is much more “green” smelling. Perhaps more lemon verbena than the iris or ambergris. It does not clash at all with the original Creed scent. So don’t expect this to have you saying “wow that smells just like GIT” maybe closer to Aspen.If you buy this to have a very great shave soap you will not be disappointed. 4 stars because the scent doesn’t quite hit the mark.
