I've just finished my first shave with the melon sample and having read
@Wayne comments about the sweets I have to agree. The ones in my mind were small hard candy sweets in a cardboard box, half melon half another flavour.
As with the previous sample it was very easy to lather and I only used a small amount this time to avoid too much lather being produced.
The lather is excellent and slick, I even nearly dropped my brush when applying for the second pass as some lather had got on the handle!
Previous comments indicate a lack of residual slickness when compared to other soaps. After the pass I kind of agree, but there's slickness when rinsing between passes that you can feel on the fingers after the addition of more water.
I purposely didn't apply any post shave and can report the soap leaves a good post shave feel. No irritation from the soap/scent here thankfully.
My only suggestion would be that the scent could potentially be ramped up a notch to be more noticeable during the shave, although I found it more noticeable than the previous Issey Miyake inspired scent.
As it is now the scent is very nice, slightly different to the normal soap scents and increasing the strength may not fit in with your idea that this soap is less scented.
To finish, would I buy this soap now? Yes
Well done again Darron
