FIGARO MONSIEUR GOLD Soap by TFS. Talk to me.

[Mr Bigmem]

Ok intrested on getting your input on Figaro Monsieur Gold Soap.

It seems to be an Oud scented soap with some good oils and I know a lot of people hold TFS in high regard.
I don't have any experience with TFS or their Figaro range.

Really interested you input on
1. Scent.
2. Ease of lathering, water intake i.e. thirsty.
3. Lather composition from creation to completion feel, thickness, slickness, glide.
4. My top most factor post shave feel.

Thanks for you advice. And yep I know YMMV

I only know from the one TFS I have, it is a great soap. Lathers well, quite thirsty. Not the thickest lather or perhaps the most stable but has great glide and good cushion. Post shave is very good. I believe all the TFS soaps do well in post shave.

I had this soap and the splash. I sold the soap after a few uses, it dried my skin out like every TFS/RR soap does.
I kept the splash though, very nice mild oud scent.
I'll probably move the splash onto the BST since I've gone off oud scents for now.

1. Scent.
- Mild oud scent. This is a good thing since some oud's can be overpowering.

2. Ease of lathering, water intake i.e. thirsty.
- Easy. Average water use.

3. Lather composition from creation to completion feel, thickness, slickness, glide.
- Decent lather, not very dense but slick.

4. My top most factor post shave feel.
- As above, this killed it for me. Nearly all soaps based on coconut oil make my skin feel dry/tight post-shave so I'm ruthless in culling them from my den. Shame, because it smelled really good.
