 Excellent Performer June 23, 2010
Michael Case (Kennewick, WA 99338)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I switched to DE shaving about 6 months ago and had started out with Col Conk's shave soaps (the amber and almond varieties). This feels like a nice step up in quality. The scent is nice, not too strong, just sort of "pleasantly clean" smelling. It lathers a little easier than the Conk's soaps, possibly because the soap is quite a bit softer, I think it loads onto the brush better. Once on the face, the lather holds up well, and keeps the razor sliding smoothly. As the lather is shaved off there's a tingly cooling effect that's very nice. Best of all, since switching to this I've noticed fewer cuts and less irritation. It's hard not to think of this as an excellent performer, especially when cost is factored in. I'll be getting more of this when I run out.
Great Shaving Soap! May 29, 2010

I must say that I am quite pleased with this soap. It lathers very easily, and holds moisture very well, making for the perfect shave. The smell is also quite pleasing. I was hesitant to try this soap, since normally things that are eucalyptus scented are very strong. This soaps scent is tame. The menthol is nice since it gives a cooling sensation that is invigorating. I highly recommend this shaving soap!
 Italian import that is just mediocre. May 16, 2010
B. Godwin (New River Valley, Virginia)
For me, this Omega Menthol shave soap is just an okay product. When I think of Italian imports, high quality comes to mind, not mediocrity and this stuff screams ho-hum.
The smell is very similar to Barbasol menthol shave cream which is pleasant enough I suppose. The odor was actually stronger when I first started using it but the scent seems to be diffusing somewhat as time goes on. The menthol does give my face a tingle and it lathers up okay but nothing special. It is shave soap, so outside of the fact that it tingles and smells fine, how does it shave? Well, not that great. I don't know anything about soap making but I'm guessing that maybe there's not enough glycerine in the soap. Whatever makes soap slick, this seems to be missing it. It feels tacky on my face and dries up quickly. Not too much of an issue with a fast shave but if you're taking your time, be prepared to rinse and repeat.
I have found my two dollar Van der Hagen soap to be a much more shaver friendly product at a fraction of the cost. A really good test was just washing my hands with the "bargain" stuff and then this. The VDH soap was really slick and had a better texture to the lather compared to this and gives a much closer shave without the razor pulling my skin.
I will say that the lid fits well so it would be great for travel. However, for the amount of money it costs I really was expecting more. If you want to say you only use shaving soap imported from Italy, then here it is. If you want a shave soap that produces a better shave at a lower cost, then that soap is likely available at your local WM. Overall I'm giving it 3 stars. I don't want to come across as blasting it, but I can't really praise it either. I don't know, it's just run of the mill average I guess.
Great Soap March 26, 2010

My third time purchasing this soap. I've used it for years. Terrific product. Long lasting. Good shave. Smells great.
 Good for the first six months March 25, 2010

This is a good shaving soap and a great value for the price. The scent reminded me of my grandfather's shaving soap from the early 60s. Definitely an old fashioned barber scent.
When I first used it, this soap made a great creamy lather even with the very hard water I had in my house. It performed daily for six months. As I neared the bottom of the bowl, however, the quality and volume of the lather began to deteriorate. The lather was thin and lacked the nice lubrication I had become accustomed to. It's almost as if the oils that form an essential part of any soap had all floated to the top when the soap was poured into the bowl, leaving the soap at the bottom to be inferior. I even installed a water softener at about that time, and the soft water did not improve the quality of the lather from the bottom of the bowl.
I'll next try a hard milled soap rather than a molded soap to see if that makes a difference.
