AXIS BY AXIS
01 · LATHER
10.0

The lather king - unmatched in this area

02 · SCENT
7.0

The scent is nice and natural but not that strong and nothing really persists beyond the smell of clenliness

03 · VALUE
9.0

This is a very good value soap, can be found in supermarkets for well under £1 a bar - I have picked up 4 and 6 packs for £2 at supermarkets - grab it when you can

04 · LASTS
8.8

It's a robust soap - it isn't a massive bar so it doens't last that long, but it lasts well for it's size. Breaks down very well and if not allowed to fully dry out it doesn't suffer from cracking.

05 · SKIN
7.7

Almost as strong as it's lather is the feeling of clean hands.

THE FULL VERDICT

This is the gold standard of sink soaps. It's a nice bar shape to slip around the hands and the lather is wild. Quantities of lather which are rarely matched by other soaps. The bar lasts reasonably well, breaks down well and does not crack. Shrinks to nothing until it's consumed.
