AXIS BY AXIS
01 · LATHER
10.0

The undisputed lather monster

02 · SCENT
7.0

The mint does nothing really for the scent and it remains subtle

03 · VALUE
8.0

the value proposition is less strong than the OG Pear so the score reflects but not much else separates these soap stelwarts

04 · LASTS
8.5

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
8.0

The post rinse feel is elevated slightly against the OG Pear due to the cooling mint - if that's your thing then this Pear is for you.

INGREDIENTS, ABRIDGED
• Cool mint oils
• Glycerin & Sorbitol
• Cleaning base
• Solvents & Stabilizers

THE FULL VERDICT

This is not my favourite pear but it shares all thet benefits of the natural oils. Amazon is not the best place to purcahse this soap - it can be had for better prices in the supermarket. It shouldn't really carry a premium, but it seems to. Great soap for hands - ok in the shower, the mint is nice on the body but it shines better in the sink.
