Review - Bohica Blend: Summary: Excellent shave. Recommended. The Shave: Used Viking Crusader - Ragnarr, Personna blade, 2nd use. No pre-shave. Used Yaqi synthetic. Worked pre-lather directly from can, transferred to bowl and worked to later. Not much work getting a good lather, easy on the water. Lather did not dry fast at all. Little feedback from alum bar. Followed by Cremo Post Shave Balm, mint and Clubman After Shave. Terrific.

Something you should know about this soap... It just works. Follow the instructions on how to use and take your time. Don't be afraid to add water. Slickness is good following your pass, if you need a touch up you can swirl a little water on your face and you'll see the lather come back. This soap is a keeper in my den of soaps. It'll share the shelf with the likes of higher end soaps like Noble Otter and Ariana and Evans. It's just that good. It's a simple scent. Not overly sweet and will mix with quite a few different aftershave depending on your sniffer. Classic sandalwood scent works well. I struggled at first lathering this soap, but once I was told to just add more water, it went from OK to great! Buy it, use it, and buy more. Simple soap, great company, great support, and made for tough environments. Can't go wrong with this soap.

Background – I am currently serving in my 12th year with the US Army so I know a thing or two about having to shave, especially in less than ideal conditions. First impressions – Upon arrival the clean matte black finish of the metal container with simple logo on the lid was a pleasing aesthetic. Once I opened the lid the mild, clean scent of the Bohica Blend was very refreshing. First use – My first use of the Caisson Shaving soap was incredible. The lather seemed almost dry compared to the having gel I was used to but it was incredibly smooth. I used a multi-blade razor to shave and had no instances of pulling and had zero irritation or dryness after, which was common with my old shave gel. First week – After a full week of shaving everyday with the same razor I found I had zero irritation on my neck, a closer shave that lasted longer, and had no need to moisturize my face after shaving. Conclusion – I want to use the Caisson Shave Soap as intended by shaving in a field environment without hot water or amenities available. I often had problems with aerosol shave gels expanding out of their container into my hygiene kit when traveling to higher elevations, which will not happen with Caisson. The mild scent will not act like highly perfumed shave gels and attract bugs in the field, plus it simply needs to be wiped clean means water rationing is more possible. I highly recommend using this product for home or professional, but especially as intended in a field environment.
