Zingari Man Shaving Soap, The Mariner

I wish I could delete my original review because it was a snap judgment based on just the lime part of the scent alone. I was going to give my tub away but thankfully someone convinced me to try it for a few days. Well, I did just that and first of all the performance is amazing! Really it was perfect. The post shave was even better. And what about the scent? I love aquatics and fresh scents and wish artisans would make more of them, but anyway my initial dislike was the amount of lime. Well, a funny thing happened. After a few days, the scent grew on me and now I love it. I will be trying other Zinagari soaps and recommend you do too. Big lesson learned is to not judge a product too quickly. Again I wish my original review could be deleted. This is a wonderful shave soap.

Like the title says, I really wanted to like this. I’ve been looking for a clean scented aquatic, and the scent description sounded so promising. Sadly, the scent was a bit disappointing. The lime was more than a “hint” and that wrecked it for me. Scents are so subjective though so surely this scent will work for many. I just wish a sample was available before buying. Now I have a tub of this used one time collecting dust. No more blind-buys for me.

Very slick and excellent performing non-tallow soap. It is not quite as slick (does not provide quite the glide) as the tallow versions (Wanderer and Magician). However, for a vegan soap, it is top-notch. If you are looking for an alternative to tallow soaps, I highly recommend this soap. The scent is very nice. Really an aquatic scent. Some scents smell artificial but this one does not.
