I am going to be reviewing today Synergy shaving soaps Vanetiver shaving soap with a decent amount of photo's. Let me tell you first and foremost I had major doubts about this soap and how it would work but read some good reviews and was intrigued mainly by the 5" tin that looks HUGE. Honestly this is what spurred my purchase was the novelty of the huge tin. I placed the order and within 48 hours I was at my front door. well packaged and sealed at the seams with a similar if not exact taping as petal pushers fancy… Synergy shaving soaps “Vanetiver” Synergy shaving soaps “Vanetiver” Scent Lather Slickness 93 This is a amazing soap that is vegan friendly not using any animal products but also not glycerin based using the butter fats of some of the worlds most moisturizing oils. 9/10 on my scale and I would suggest this soap to anyone without hesitation.

I am going to be reviewing today Synergy shaving soaps Vanetiver shaving soap with a decent amount of photo’s. Let me tell you first and foremost I had major doubts about this soap and how it would work but read some good reviews and was intrigued mainly by the 5″ tin that looks HUGE. Honestly this is what spurred my purchase was the novelty of the huge tin. I placed the order and within 48 hours I was at my front door. well packaged and sealed at the seams with a similar if not exact taping as petal pushers fancy but in white instead of purple. The soap is vegan friendly all “butter” soap and I mean SOAP because it was saponified with sodium and potassium hydroxide making it a real “soap”. The main ingredients are Kokum butter, Mango, castor, Avocado, and soy oils to name a few these are all highly moisturizing and easily converted oils. So now down to the review :

Packaging

This is a huge aluminum tin measuring 5″ in diameter and has the catchy how to grow a moustache / Synergy logo on it. It came in a bubble wrapped envelope and was sealed with a tape at the seam to keep I would imagine the user to know it is a new puck and like a tamper indicator. Did I mention this puck is HUGE.

Scent

At first I was like HMMM…… I wasn’t sure as it was almost mysterious not good or bad just very hard to describe and I kept going back to it and really gave it the once over. Keep in mind I smelled it at first at 48 degrees on a cold New York day. Awhile later at room temp the aroma of vanilla and vetvier was neither over powered by the other and both easily were detected

Lather

On the tin itself it says performs best at 95-140 degrees…..I was a bit thrown back at first thinking how do you do this. What I did was my normal pre shave shower and let my boar brush soak in very hot water. After my shower I re ran my brush under about 110 degree water and hot the puck of course ringing out the excess water. I could not believe how much lather was formed I only swirled maybe 10 seconds … I never only swirl for 10 seconds but it was excessive the lather that was growing in the tin I needed so the overflow ( yes it overflowed a 5″ tin ) I just kept placing on my face. Then I brought the brush to my face which really did not have much more than a 5 o’clock shadow on it and it was amazing !!!! If I had one complaint it produced too MUCH LATHER. I for the first time ever discarded some as I was just too much……and was a bit hard to manage at times but, hey better more than I needed than not enough.

Slickness

Perfect it easily had enough glide to make the shave and razor glide effortlessly over my face. I did find though the 95-140 degree that was mentioned means something as it does become more pasty though it is an unfair comparison…… as it is not pasty but not fully slick lather either if you wait to long and it cools down too much. but even then it is still pretty darn slick and to be honest I am being hyper critical and YMMV and may not even notice this to happen.

Overall

This soap is amazing hands down I was pleasantly surprised by how a novelty 5″ tin flipped to an amazingly efficient and fragrant soap that just so happened to be in a large tin. My mindset did a 180 in a split second of use. The rumor this soap is generating about being a huge game changer in the soap world is not hype it is easily in my top 3 except no more than a very small amount next time as the excess lather production was my only complaint and that is easily dialed in.
