First shave with the newly released Woolly Wash Soapery Tropi-Cool artisan shaving a soap.
A new Australian soap that was generously provided by @Mark1966.

Woolly Wash Soapery has been around for a little bit now, but has recently expanded into the shaving soap market and is available on their Etsy store or Ebay store. Currently there are 5 options, Night at the Pub, Tranquility, Shear, Tropi-Cool & Outback. Llana recently mentioned on reddit that she has a few more scents on the way.

Artwork -
I love the effort that goes into shaving soap art, for Woolly Wash Soapery all of the tins have a sheep doing something somewhat related to the scent. Llana actually owns a sheep and cattle farm in QLD and uses the tallow from the farm so she has a special connection to her soaps.

Scent -
I dont mind a good tropical scented soap, i really enjoy Stirling Coconut & Lime and a few of Areffa's tropical scented soaps are pretty nice aswell. I must say that Tropi-Cool beats them all, there isnt a single bit of artificial scent in there, it all smells compeltely natural as i feel some of the others can be overpowering & almost smell like toilet cleaner. The scent is strong off the puck and stays with you throughout the shave.

Lather / Performance-
The soap is softer than i had originally expected, its probably a little harder than TOBS but much softer than other firmer soaps (B&M, Stirling etc).
I started with a damp troycraft plissoft brush and loaded gently for around 10-15 seconds. I then moved to my bowl to start building a creamy lather slowly adding water as needed. I was able to have a pretty dense lather in under a minute and when i realised the amount that was produced, i decided to take on @Mark1966 & @SpeedyPC challenge

Moving on, i was able to whip up quite a dense lather and it was very flexible with the amount of water that i added, even when i pushed it a bit more it still held up quite well.
On the face it felt very nice, dense and creamy with excellent protection.
Post shave feel was top notch, something that i would expect from my current top soaps such as MWF, B&M & SV.

Overall-
Overall, this is a great soap and i would be very happy using this daily, top notch lather, scent & protection.
They currently are available in 3 sizes, 20g sample for $5, 80g tin for $12 or 180g jar for $25.

I can defintely get behind this new Australian soap maker and i encourage everyone here to jump on board and support this talented soap maker.
Well done Llana, i wish you all the success and i hope you stay around for a long time!

Next up i have Outback and will review this over the next week or two

“I'm totally speechless and completely gobsmacked” With regards to this comment I’m sure @Bladerunner7 wants this in writing? 😂😂😂 Now on a serious note if you’ve used Washpool No3 unscented I’d be interested in yours or another members comparison of these two. 👍

Woolly Wash Soapery is the number one winner against the Washpool unscented.

Quote from Woolly Wash Soapery ingredients
Free from coconut oil (which can be drying for some skin types), this formula is loaded with skin loving ingredients like sheep tallow, shea butter, cocoa butter, and castor oil for a gentle, nourishing post shave feel. It’s also clay free and includes Tussah Silk to enhance slickness and razor glide.

Perfect for those with sensitive skin or scent sensitivities, Shear is all performance, no fragrance.
