Terrific Old Spice scent. As with all Cooper and French tallow soaps, creates terrific lather and post shave feel. As a face latherer, I have no need to use a pre-shave with Cooper and French soaps. Highly recommended

We love your shaving soaps! Shaving is much easier and the razor glides smootherand the scents are wonderful.

I originally ordered a sample of the Old Goat soap but received an additional sample to my surprise that I cannot quite seem to identify. Both smell very pleasant in my opinion and lather up extremely well as I use approximately a pea size amount in my scuttle to mix up. It lasts me the entire shave with 3 to 4 passes depending on my stubble. There was still a sizeable soap pebble left over and at this rate a sample would last me a while let alone two. I love C&F's take on Old Spice with a bit more clove scent. Now I want to try more scents. Please if anyone can identify the second sample for me I would like to know which scent this is. Thank you Cooper and French!

I love the soap lather along with it's traditional smell. This makes me want to shave daily. This shaving soap doesn't dry my face out. I would recommend this. Great product!

My favorite scent by them and works great

As always, the first set of friends I went to see and offered these samples as party favors all loved it. I plan to order several addional sets along with brushes early next month for a gathering at West Point in October. Do you know when the regular sizes will be available? Mark Gerner

I had gone back to shaving with a brush and shaving soap recently, but it really is hard to find locally. I saw your company on Mammoth Nation and thought I would try your product. I told my wife yesterday that this is the best shaving soap I have ever used.

I like Old Goat, but the fragrances are a little overpowering for me. Mostly it's fine, but whilst I'm shaving my eyes are stinging a bit from the fragrance. I never had this issue with the previous product I purchased: Authentic Barber shave soap. I prefer that over Old Goat. Thanks!

Excellent soap! Probably one of the best smelling and performing "Old Spice Type" soaps I've used. Incredibly thick and slick lather. Very cushioning and great post shave face-feel.

Old Goat soap is one of the closest scents reminiscent of the original Shulton Old Spice that I remember so well (yes, I'm that old). Great lather, slickness, and scent are all there! If you are a 'spice-lover', you certainly won't be disappointed with this one. Highly recommend!

Super thick lather that doesn’t fade away. Nice scent. Gave a smooth shave and left my skin feeling soft even without having to use aftershave balm.

Old goat has that old fashioned manly scent. Love it

Awesome quality products.

Bought a 4 pack of that Lieutenant what's his name (I demoted him from Colonel), and while excellent for stump removal or other agricultural tasks, left my face raw and ragged. Variety being the spice of life is thus limited to a smaller circle, so I got the Old Goat instead of the Sandalwood I bought last year.
Lather is generous. Peaks stiffer than Julia Child's meringues. Pleasant, subtle musk smell. Felt guilty about buying that Sergeant who's it (Demoted him again), and bought a 5 oz, a 3oz, and a sample of different soaps, and they upgraded my 3-ouncer! They know how to take care of a repeat customer, thanks!

I would like to thank Brenden Dilley, his show The Dilley Show is where I first heard of Cooper & French I have several of their products now And Old Goat soap is one of my top favorites It smells like an old time Barber shop to me and it lathers great I will buy again.

I was probably one of the first few to use this product just after it came out. Loved it ever since. I shave my head and face every day and gives me a close smooth shave that lasts all day. In my profession I work very long days at times and I don't have to worry about re shaving half way through the day like you would with can foam soap. I'm Sensitive to scents and soaps and I have no problem with "Old Goat" or several other of there soaps I have sampled, rinses clean and keeps my skin moist through the winter months. Not to mention Gentlemen the Wife loves the smooth shave. Canned Foam shave soap is for little boys to learn how to shave. Ditch the can and Shave like a Real Man using Cooper and French Shave Soap Products.

Old Goat is a very good performer. Lathers easily and provides excellent slickness and cushion. Scent is similar to Old Spice which is a classic scent. Highly recommend Old Goat Shaving Soap.

This is my second order of "Old Goat" - shaving soap, aftershave balm and bar soap. I have hopefully laid up at least a one to two year supply of all 3 products. They are exceptional products in all regards : performance, scent, shipping and customer appreciation. More about this later.
I began wet shaving some 4 years ago and it took me a fairly long time to get around to what I was actually looking for: The Daily Driver. The one combo that you use, day in and day out, that gives you a great, economical, weekday shave. I think it ironic that so many of us got attracted to the wet shaving hobby by the pitch that this would be so inexpensive without all the costly "cartridges and goop". Give it a couple of years, and you have hundreds, or thousands, of dollars worth of razors, blades, brushes, soaps and scents, gathering space and dust in your "shave den" , most of which which you will occasionally use and then give away, or store in a neglected cabinet.. So much for an inexpensive hobby. It can quickly become a hobby as time consuming and expensive, as any other. I stand guilty of all of that.
Enter the Daily Driver. It took me long years of dollars and frustration before I arrived at my Daily Driver: Cooper and French Old Goat shaving soap, a Feather blade and a Rockwell 6s razor. Add Old Goat shaving balm, Old Goat body soap and a short splash of Old Spice aftershave and you have a coordinated, simple and pleasant presentation for the day. Probably like your father and his before him had, back in the day.
The Old Goat line of products is an exceptional product and value. The soap lathers easily, in hard Midwestern water , and provides glide and residual slickness, and gives off a pleasant, non overpowering but masculine aroma. I have read the scent is based on the old school scent of "Old Spice", but to me, it is more muted and smoother. So much so, that I use a fraction of actual Old Spice aftershave to bring it all in line. I cannot and will not use the product superlatives used in a lot of reviews , as they sometimes sound strained and certainly beyond my descriptive abilities. Suffice it to say that my wife thinks I smell great and strokes my glass smooth face, and my two teenage daughter's ( the world's fiercest critics. . .) and the occasional female co-worker says I smell great. Exactly how much more can you want or expect??
I do have more expensive, one off soaps, lotions and scents that I wear for special occasions or when I just want a change of pace. Those are from far more big, recognized names in the shaving space, but they are not my first choice in a cold Tuesday morning facing deadlines and life hassles. For that, the Old Goat line is the first and easiest pick I make that day. It just works, well and consistently. .
On top of all that, Cooper and French is always a pleasure to order from - a well designed, simple website, fast shipping, great prices and samples of their other products. An Old Goat bundle of soap and balm is cheaper than a lot of vendors are selling single pucks of premium soap for, that you will use 5 times and then relegate to benign neglect under your sink. Throw in a few dollars more for a bar of soap and you have easy, economical way to start your day using excellent, hand made products from a small family business.
It's all good.

Just a wonderful experience using this soap. Easy to load easily created a full bowl of rich creamy lather . Comfortable and great smelling the slickness and glide is remarkable. Super close shave , your skin feels revitalized after the shave. Highly recommend this product.
John B.
My favorite is saddle wood and Amber. I like the performance of all your soaps. The fresh start is nice also.
Christian H.
This Old Goat is very easy to lather. Produced a very protective and slick lather. I plan to try their other offerings. Thank you for producing this outstanding soap.
Scott H.
The aroma is nice, it has a good cologne scent about it.
The soap is really nice and can lather well in a bowl. The soap doesn't need a lot of water to get to a full lather, and a teaspoon sized amount can produce enough lather for two passes, very easily.
I really recommend this item.
Sean D.
Incredible shaving soap, I love it. & Thank you for the free sample of the holiday soap. I liked that so much I may have to order another for next December. Definitely will purchase more in the future!
Jade W.
I am thoroughly impressed with the lather from Old Goat. I had tried a sample, and recently got the full size tub. A quick and easy, nice thick, and smooth lather with minimal effort from my synthetic brush. The scent is perfect for most of my "old school" aftershaves (old spice, brut, aqua velva). Very happy with this soap!
J. D.
The lather was excellent-- the scent however, was decidedly not for me.
Dean S.
This is the last of the sample pack I got on the Independence deal. Wanted to give it a 3 but this scent/soap is a half star above that and decided to round it up to 4. First I have to say that the little sample tin didn't look like it was completely blended and not sure if that is the way it is supposed to be. I used about a pea sized chunk smeared in the bottom of my bowl and lathered it up to a nice rich thick lather. The scent once lathered is a touch weak but still smells good. The soap is slick enough for the razor to pass on but doesn't seem to leave much slickness behind the razor pass. Once finished with my 2 passes plus touch ups the post shave feel it seems to leave my skin tacky and guessing it is from the tallow. So I would have given it 3 1/2 stars is possible, a half star off for a slightly weak scent once lathered and a full star for the slight lack of slickness and post shave feel.
Jeff B.
Long lasting, lathers well and smells incredible! Can't ask for more!

Since I received your Old Goat shaving soap I have totally enjoyed using it. This soap lathers up thick and provides a smooth and very comfortable shave. No need to look any farther, I have found what I was looking for in a shaving soap.
