My husband loves this stuff and he is very picky. It has a very light scent.

This is a great soap for the price. It allows me to get a great shave and does not dry out my skin like other shaving products. The only shaving prep that I like better is Tom's of Maine shaving cream.

There's no better shave soap than Colonel Ichabod Conk shave soap. Lime and and Amber are my favorites, followed by almond, then bayrum.

This is a great shave soap to use with my Merkur DE razor and badger brush. The soap has glycerine and avocado oil as moisturizers. I am so happy that there is not a hint of mint or alcohol [to my knowledge] in this soap-I really do not enjoy all that tingling or feeling of dryness after shaving. This is good quality soap.

These soaps are great soaps. They provide a lather the embarrases the creams that come in cans. I've been using Conk soap for years. With a good shave brush and a double edge razor, I get a shave that blows the gels, creams, etc away. These are the real deal. Get yourself a brush, shave bowl or simply use a mug and a soap like this. You'll never go back to gels or canned shave cream.

Conk soaps are terrific. I like that fact they are made in the USA. This variety has a nice clean scent. Interestingly, the plastic package is designed to be used to to lather up in. Do not try to put this bar in a shaving soap bowl not made by the company, it is an odd shape and size and seems to only work well in their own mugs and bowls. The glycerin based soaps from Conk do not make a thick enough lather for me, but their other soaps do.

...but the outrageous amount I was charged for shipping. Which I didn't find out from the seller until I couldn't cancel. I wanted to buy one bar to try, and the shipping for this item was almost double the cost. STAY AWAY!

A lot a people have been having problems with CacheBeauty. My problem was the Shipping & Handling. The product was great. I've converted over to shaving bars from gel. The main reason I like the bar is that there's no guessing of the amount of gel. I always put way too much on and wasted almost a 1/4 of the can.

Shipping & Handling of CacheBeauty.


Standard (3-7 days) $8.80 (Order Total: $12.30)

Expedited (1-3 days) $19.80 (Order Total: $23.30)

It's a fine product, but the Shipping and Handling was not worth it. Try to find it elsewhere, or try a different product. For the record, this is a great soap that last a very long time.

"I should have read the other reviews...I can't believe what this vendor charges to ship a bar of soap that cost $3.50. I paid $4.50 via USPS in shipping charges which clearly leaves me with that ripped off feeling. Amazon should really look at this vendor and their ethics practices. There was no where in the order process that spelled out such an outrageous shipping. Don't order from this vendor...if you do...just bend over and get screwed"
