Caswell-MasseyMen’s Bar Soap, Moisturizing Body Wash for Bath or Shower, Men’s Soap Bar for All Skin Types, Essential Oils & Plant-Based Formula, Jockey Club, 3 (5.8 oz bar) Gift Set

I’ve just purchased my 5th 3-bar set of soaps by Caswell-Massey.The quality as excellent as they not only smell great but they last a long time because they’re triple milled which means they don’t dissolve as quickly and none of it turns into goo or gunk.I typically get 1 to 2 months of use out of 1 single bar. So while the up-front cost is on the high side as far as soap goes, since you’ll enjoy them more and they’ll last longer than most, to me they’re totally worth it.Also the packaging is outstanding, so they make really good gifts! My brother’s hard to buy for he and typically isn’t a fan of fancy fragrances of any kind, but he actually really liked the 3-bar set I sent him last year so I just sent him a different one.My only minor complaint: the 5th box I ordered the Tricorn that was supposed to come in it had been replaced by a bar of 1752. But luckily that one smells great too! So I’m not going to send it back.So far my favorite set is the one that has the Lavender, Verbena, and Almond Cream, and the Sandalwood Explorer set is my 2nd-favorite because the only one I really loved from that one was the Tricorn.However this 1752 bar smells very promising and I’m looking forward to using it tomorrow!Everyone’s tastes and faves are a little different, which is why getting a 3-bar set or maybe even a 12 bar set is a good idea, so you can find the ones you like best and just order those in the future.

I am obsessed with soaps. I have an entire closet designated for my soap collection. This set was the first set from Caswell-Massey that I purchased. Their soap has everything I look for in a soap bar. I tend to judge bared soap on 5 areas. I am able to use this bar both as my facial and body soap.Physical Shape and Size: The shape of the bar is easily held with no squared off edges for easily gliding for all curves and nooks of your body. Its a perfect size for your hand while being large enough to not have to replace for weeks (if not months).Lathering Capabilities: The bar lathers very nicely with a thick creamy lather that doesn't leave your skin greasy or feeling like there is still something on it. I'd also like to mention that the lather is just as good in a cold shower as it is in a warm shower. I realized that this isn't necessarily true with all soap bars, so I thought I'd mention it.Scent: As to the particular scent, that will differ depending on each individuals preferences, however, what I appreciate about Caswell-Massey is, the scent is quality and evenly distributed throughout the bar. It leaves your skin with a light, clean scent, not like you just sprayed yourself with perfume, cologne or other scented oils. Caswell-Massey offers a wide range of quality scents. This particular selection is more manly, but I'll discuss the scents later.Skin Hydration: I have normal skin type, and tend to get oily skin in the T-zone of my face. I also live in a desert, so, even with normal skin hydration, I have to pay extra attention to how soaps and lotions hydrate my skin. Unfortunately, despite high prices and brand names, many soaps leave my skin dry. This is not so with Caswell-Massey bar soaps. That creamy lather mentioned before leaves my skin smooth with no cracking, peeling or white flakey-ness. Most times, I don't have to use lotion after a shower.Soap Quality: This is almost a given, having gone through everything above. Aside for the scent integrity, lather effects and creaminess, I judge a soaps quality by how well (and how long) it lasts. Of course, size will always play a factor here, however, I've noticed higher quality soaps tend to wear down slower than those made with cheap ingredients. I'm impressed with how long the 5.8 oz bars last. And though this is hard to gauge as soap usage per person is different, lets just say I'm a heavy latherer, I take longer showers and I assure my entire body is meticulously clean. This soap lasts longer than most.With my five bar soap judging criteria out of the way, I did want to mention the scents that came with the Presidential set. I'm not going to regurgitate Caswell-Massey's scent descriptions, as they are there for the reading with the product. I'm going to try to describe them in basic layman terms. By the way, the soaps come in a quality box with a beautiful description page enclosed - classy and great for gift giving.Heritage Jockey Club is that classic Man scent. The scent makes me think of when I was a child and we went to special occasions like weddings or funerals. Places where men, who were not my family, would have to take the extra time to be respectfully clean and presentable amongst other men, women and children (without overpowering colognes).Heritage Number Six is my favorite. It's kind of a generic soap smell that, to me, represents clean. The description says notes of Neroli, Rosemary, Bergamot, Musk, Amber and Dry Rose. Though I don't doubt those are oils in the soap and maybe what someone with a more sophisticated nose would smell, however, I only note the very light Musk and light Amber notes and definitely the Rose. This scent is that freshly cleaned smell that is great to cuddle up to. Warm, protective, and familiar.Centuries Almond Cold Cream & Aloe Vera scent, on first smell, seemed to cross over into the traditionally feminine scent, however, after using it, I was pleasantly surprised at its neutral scent when used. Though the soap smells like a type of almond cookie my grandmother used to make, the cream and aloe scent is what follows me when I leave the shower. It's a light, fresh from professional pampering smell, be that barber, salon or spa.

Can honestly feel the quality difference versus other soaps. Lasts longer (both smell and the physical bar itself) than other generic and high quality soaps I've tried. Smell is subjective and changes person to person but I really like the 3 in this pack.

Update - The 1/2 bar of woodgrain sandalwood lasted over a month. Scent was great throughout. Enjoyed it, would buy this one on its own. Just moved on to Heritage Tricorn. Performs great as a a soap, but scent is SO faint. Kind of disappointing after the first bar.I only just recently got into bar soaps. I’ve been using Axe for years. A friend got me into fragrances and I thought trying out some of the finer soaps might be interesting. I really did a lot of looking before I finally purchased this. It was a little spendy, but everything I read said that the bars smelled good, were decent sized with good longevity - so I went for it (the left over credit on my account helped). I opened up the first bar (wood grain sandalwood) and am so far really happy. It smells so good, kind of warm and spicy - much better than the first bar soap I bought at a discount retailer (Duke Cannon Victory Big Ass Bar), which actually burns my nose with a strong chemical smell. Looking forward to finding out what the other two bars smell like (still wrapped)! The bar is plenty big enough. I cut it in half and lather up a mesh washcloth when I shower to make it last. It lathers up really well. I’ve been using it for a week and it’s only gotten marginally smaller. It rinses off clean, but a light scent of the soap stays with you after. And the bathroom smells really good. Will update this after I try the other two bars.

Happen to be a fan of sandalwood. Have tried other similar bath soaps but they fall short of the fragrance of this brand. Large bar size makes the cost realistic.

Great smell last all day. Easy on 65 year old skin.

The bars last a long time when dried between use and the scent fills the bathroom with an amazing aroma even when it's just sitting there waiting for the next shower. Lather is fabulous!! I want to try more of the fragrance available from this company #6 is great too. I want to try them all!! Will buy this set again.

Still the same great soap, but getting more expensive - which is what takes the longevity score down, the value and number of showers for the cost is now relatively lower than it was.

excellent quality

Disappointed as I've tried almost every soap on Amazon and thought this $22.00 bar of soap was it from all the 5 star reviews...1. Zero Scent2. No lather at all3. Odd round shape makes you "drop the soap" constantly:/*Would not buy again even if price went down to $1.00/bar

As advertised and shipping great. Beats the no cross border shopping .

Era lo que esperaba de una marca tan maravillosa y antigua.

お風呂場が少しラグジュアリーな香りに包まれます。
