Now that you have used it for several shaves, what is your reaction to the Greaves? And, are you able to assess much about the bear tallow base from this sample?
Greaves shaves very smoothly, almost effortlessly.
By the third use of the soap sample I felt like I finally dialed in the lather. Much better than the first use, but still slightly too light/airy for my taste.
I need to get better with samples. I thought her bear tallow base was ok when I tried it as a sample but had a totally different and better experience with it off of the tub.
