I can’t get enough.

Everything about AYLM is amazing. Customer service is great. I have 9 of their shave soaps. All of them are top notch. Ease of use, building lather and all of the scents are top notch. No other soaps compare. Nothing they make is cookie cutter. Everything feels bespoke. They don’t do ordinary. That’s what I love about AYLM. Top notch, unmatched and classy. 10/10! ❤️

High quality products, quite unique

I love their products. The scents and the texture of the soap is quite unique. I just tried two two of their top products (Ishtar and Urashi) and I love both of them.

I had a problem with the access, there has been a bit of miscommunication with the customer care team, but once the responsible learned about the situation, she promptly contacted me to solve the problem. So at the end happy of their service as well.

Salve signor Andrea,

Noi siamo toscani: nati per la qualità. Qualità per la quale siamo pronti a "morire"(nel senso di non cedere a nessuna logica del risparmio e del mercato).

Ha provato proprio 2 eccellenze di questo voler non retrocedere neanche di 1mm di fronte alla linea della qualità assoluta e della sperimentazione costante per il miglioramento di ciò che è tradizionale e di ciò che deve restare.
Resta tradizionale ciò che vale la pena che continui a esistere e non ciò che va di moda.

Grazie ancora della sua recensione e l'aspettiamo per continuarla a stupire e convincerla.

Mr. Anthony,
Thank you very much for your words,
Very, very important that our customers from abroad understand the value of beautiful Italian craftsmanship.

We are Tuscan: born for quality. Quality for which we are ready to “die”(in the sense of not yielding to any logic of savings and market).

On recommendation I decided to try Marduk and Ishtar aftershaves, I have been using them for about a week. I liked both the care characteristics of these products and the very pleasant aroma that lingers on the skin after shaving for several hours. The products are very high quality, worth the money, I highly recommend them to all connoisseurs of classic shaving. Now I want to try the Crocus series for shaving :)

I only bought the Don Jose shaving soap to give it a try, it’s the only item I have changed in my shaving routine and it has made so a difference. I noticed a change straight away and even the day after my shave my skin feels better.
Customer service great as I had an issue with the discount code, packaging fantastic as well as delivering time.
I will definitely add other products to my shaving routine.

Very poor experience

Unfortunately this was not a pleasant experience as I have been charged a huge amount of money by FedEx which was not made clear by AYLM (despite their online promise that ALL charges would be advised before completing the transaction).

I raised this matter with them but they have not had the courtesy to reply. Unless they show respect to their customers, this one will not buy directly from them again.

Marduk soap, aftershave and Cologne trio- a uniquely South African perspective.

Apologies, this review for Marduk soap, aftershave and Cologne set is in English, as my Italian is limited to two or three words only.
AYLM customer service was excellent- even over a weekend, and after hours! Delivery via FedEx was unusually fast, for this part of the world.
I waited until I got to my "holiday home" 350km away from were I usually live to work, as the tape water there is significantly softer.
I use what I have stored there, so it was up to my Fatip Testine Gentile, loaded with an Astra Superior Platinum (second use), and Epsilon horse hair brush to perform.
The fragrance of the Marduk soap (or is that a croap, because it's very soft) is stellar! Nothing what I was expecting... given the main additional ingredient being cactus (my mind went to Tequila..?) and blueberry. No Sir, this to my nose has a subtle masculine and powdery fragrance. Not that old school scent- more modern, if that's clear on any way. As for performance- gosh! This soap is so-so very slick I had to check if the razor was actually loaded with a blade!!! Yes, I had to curb my usual stingy self, and help myself to a little more soap for lathering, than usual. The soap for me, is expensive, especially with the Euro/Rand exchange rate. I face lather, so I simply added a bit more into the the loading bowl. The horse hair brush also eats soap for breakfast. Probably better to use a synthetic, but to me no matter their superior performance, compared to natural hairs, just lack soul. Be careful not to add too much water. I think (speaking under correction- I can't be bothered to study the ingredient list) there's a higher water content in this soap. Post shave face feel is super silky! Residual sickness is probably comparable to Mitchell's Wool Fat, just maybe more sophisticated? I omitted the witchazel and alum, the first time, just to judge the performance of the soap and other products on their own merit. After the traditional three passes my skin felt soft and well hydrated.
I enjoyed that feel just for a moment.
The aftershave is unlike what I also expected. Certainly not like SV, not as viscous, more like a true alcohol splash, with a perceptible alcohol zap- nice. The sting (probably more due to my technique, and imperfect skin) lasted only a very short while. Either way, I like alcohol based aftershave splashes, and this formula certainly impressed me!
Then I took another moment, just to absorb in the whole experience, thus far.
The Cologne is an excellent rounding off. Not overwhelming, but certainly long lasting fragrance. I've used the trio today, for the second time, and I can still smell the (bass) notes of the accord. I'm certain the two ladies in my family will approve!
Overall thr Marduk soap, splash and Cologne trio continues to impress me. The set is pleasantly surprising.
"Dus lekke", as we would say in Afrikaans.
Best yet- AYLM was kind enough to include two small gifts- a pack of sweet/lozenges (candy, as the Americans say), and a sample of Don Jose soap. That made my day! Thanks AYLM.
I can't wait for tomorrow mornings shave using Marduk again, and I haven't felt this excited about using a soap in a long while.
Moreso, can't wait to finish this soap that I can try the Ishtar!!!
Nope, I'm not a pro shaver, just an average guy, father, man that enjoys shaving.
Happy shaves everyone, and remember- enjoy the moment.
