One way might be to grab the glue bump itself and push the bristles above it a little bit and that should show how much space is taken up in your fingers.

Chris i tried just that and tried too hard. It gave me a game keeper's thumb in end but ali express customer care was still non applaused.

Raj, I've had all three before, but Himalaya appears to have disappeared.

David, Himalaya will not return. I got my tub from last batch last year.

Due to the idiocy of Spanish customs, this order has been kidnapped since the end of May. I got it this morning.

Catie's Bubbles' Black Bergamot is, for me, the best bergamot scented soap ever made.

I still have a bit more than a whole tub of the 1.0 version. Needed some backup.

Drink a bottle of Coca Cola for Randy then. Best scent.

What about slickness?

For what it's worth, I have a Sagrasada that arrived a couple of weeks ago. I bought it so my father could give it to me for Xmas and it hasn't been used. I checked it and the glue bump is fine...circa 5mm. However, the entire knot is set into the handle at a wonky angle.

I think volume is more of a concern than stringent QC at casa Yaqi.

Ask for replacement

Oustanding Packaging and very nice scent

Fantastic scents on all three but the Club Cola really is great & unusual for a soap scent

Definitely it is. Darron is a fox when it comes to scents.
Time to try Parma Violet too. I have never smell something so natural.

Don't blame me for the photo. It is called Axe Black.

The first smell my nose gets is watermelon. But no watermelon in there at all.

For an Axe, is quite unique.

What about slickness?

Well, I've always found CB to be excellent performers. Perhaps they don't offer the highest level of slickness out there, but I've never found them lacking. Post-shave slickness is very good though.

There's soaps I find more luxurious in that regard, Storybook Soapworks/APR come to mind, but not by much.

Nice mail call today

A bit of an extravagant purchase of this Shave bar, modest purchase price raised by high Postage costs. Wanted to see how it compared with Mogno.

I always thought actual Parma Violet sweets are like eating soap!!
