I was slightly hesitant to by this set since I’m not into citrus heavy products. I did so based on the performance and scent of their Oriental soap which I already owned and its many good reviews. I was truly surprised by how much I liked it. The scent is enjoyable, and the performance is great. Oriental is still the better of the two, but for a scent profile I am not into, this really is good.
The YouTuber that I really liked watching was Ruds. I know he doesn’t make videos anymore and not everyone likes him, but he is one of the people who really influenced me to try wet shaving. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy who wanted to give you his take on the soaps he was using. He even answered an email I sent him once with questions about shaving my head. I figured he would never answer me, but he did. Is he better than u/VisceraWatch? Maybe not, but he certainly helped me get into this hobby (yeah, it’s a hobby considering the money I spend to do this – lol), and that means a lot, considering wet shaving got me through COVID quarantines.
