In my opinion, Stubble Trubble shows that a 100% vegan soap can easily go head to head with the tallow big boys.

This soap makes a thick, creamy, and stable lather that feels good on the face.

Excellent. There was no bad reaction to any of the ingredients and the lather felt smooth on my skin.

Very good. There was no razor drag at all.

This was the highlight for me. The Up & Adam scent, as described on the Stubble Trubble web site, is: "Up and Adam, a robust espresso and vanilla blend with a hint of menthol." It is that to my nose but sometimes I pick up the heavenly scent of hazelnut, as well. The menthol is not strong at all and cannot be smelled. In fact, it was only after I finished the shave that I felt a mild cooling sensation on my face. It made for a very nice finish. Those of you looking for face freeze, I believe, will be disappointed. For those who do not care for menthol, the same scented soap comes menthol free. Also, this is one of the strongest scented soaps I have used in a while. I can actually smell it while shaving, which is not always true with other favorite soaps I use.

The skin care is excellent. There was no drying effect and my face felt smooth when I finished

Excellent value here. At $14.95 for 5.9 ounces ($2.53 per ounce), this is very reasonably priced for a quality soap.

This is a superb quality soap and proves that a great soap can be 100% vegan as easily as it can be tallow based.

For me this is the one slight downfall. The tub is a wide mouth plastic jar that makes it so easy to pick up soap. There is nothing that stands out as far as the label goes but it serves its purpose of announcing the company name, the scent name, and the ingredients. This is all done on the single label on the lid. However, it is the fact that the tub is a 5 for recycling, instead of a 1 or 2, and therefore cannot be recycled where I live, that really brings down the star rating for packaging. With some soap makers converting to more recycle friendly tubs, this was somewhat of a letdown.
