New squadron soap!

[Spencer Frankel]

Hey guys. Just so keen about this soap I had to share as soon as I got it! And what a beauty! Do you like gin and tonic? If so this will be right up your alley. A little nice hint of a sweet lime adds to a nice subtle scent. Can't wait to lather this up tonight! Thanks for the giveaway Squadron Soaps!

Let's just say that after this soap. I've just bought the captain's blend and warden soap off some people [emoji23][emoji106]

Great packaging! Can't wait for the review of it. Love the idea of the old school paper wrap with the jute string.
Like English school kids tied lunch.
Mmhhh.. is that a hint that the next soap will be flying fish and chips.

@Spencer Frankel take your time with the review don't feel like you need to rush it with us/me wanting it.

Just did my first shave with it. All I can say is that performance wise, it doesn't get too much better for my face

Fantastic mate - glad you liked it. A good win then

A good gin and tonic needs to be drunk very cold. Does it have an ice (menthol) note to it at all?

This is exactly what I thought! I was just thinking how good it would be to have a nice amount of menthol. Unfortunately there is none in this soap. Would be a great suggestion

You can add ice to the sink.

Not the same as the intensifying cooling after every pass I'm a menthol maniac

Yeah menthol has its place, that said if a bartender added it to my gin and tonic I'd be unimpressed

@Spencer Frankel could always use a pre shave menthol disc/bar like these or another brand's lotion to add more menthol.

I just used fine snakebite aftershave. It doesn't have fragrance so you get booted with menthol and afterwards get the smell of the soap

 

[RustyBlade]

Even though it is a pre shave you can leave it on as a layer and lather over the top of it to boost a soaps menthol level.

Yep. They're good those pre shave soaps. Do you know who makes any mentholated ones
