Default TGQ Colleen's Bay Rum/Orange Spice

At the NC meet up I was lucky enough to score a matched set of TGQ soap and shave creme...

I have been using it for the last month and have decided that I have enough info now to do an actual review.
I won't bore you guys to much with mention of the scent as I really think that scent is a personal thing, but this one is not a straight Bay Rum scent so I find it at least necessary to point the differences out...
Try and Imagine a Bay Rum that somebody squeezed fresh Orange over and a dash of cinnamon... Also the scent can be complemented by a follow up with the SB Bay Rum Aftershave (Sensuous Beauty available on Amazon), enough on the scent...
I used the double boiler method and gently melted the soap into a heavy glass soap bowl, I never use a microwave on soaps....
I used all 5 lather methods on the soap and cream
1. Lather on the face with just the soap
2. Building a lather in a bowl with just soap
3. Building a lather in a bowl with just cream
4. Super lather
5. Uberlather
The strong points on this were #1, #4, and of course #5
This soap and creme lathers very well and give excellent glide and protection on the face...
I would give both a double thumbs up
