Barbus Active - 6 years later

The last time I used Barbus shaving soap was 6 years ago. A subscriber sent me a box full of products and wanted me to do a review of all of them. I reviewed all the products that pertained to wet shaving. But he was still not satisfied; he wanted me to just keep using them, and I tried to explain to him that it just doesn't work that way. Clearly, we had a language barrier since he was from Slovakia and had come to the US and landed in N.J. At the time, his website only had products from Barbus https://grujoskionline.com/ but now his pages are full of other products from different companies. I wish him well.

Barbus Active is the one I'm using today, and when you watch the video, I didn't bowl lather; I just loaded the brush from the plastic tub, and in less than a minute, the brush was loaded, and I was ready to face lather. Man, it produced some thick creamy lather that got read into the bread, allowing me to shave without fear of irritation. The post-shave feel was a good one as well. I would still recommend Barbus, and after six years, the same soap did not disappoint.
