This is an artisanal shaving soap made in Greece, at the region of Halkidiki, near Agio Oros. It is made in very small batches. The maker makes also bath soaps. I bought it from Etsy a few months ago.
This soap is scented with bergamot essential oil. The scent is amazing. I like it very much! I was looking for a nice bergamot scented soap and this was a nice surprise to me.
The ingredients of the soap are simply great. Some of these are the following: tallow, shea butter, cocoa butter and tussah silk.
The packaging is simple, but very nice. The soap is hard like Meissner Tremonia. The price is excellent. It cost me only 5 euros, before shipping. For an artisanal tallow soap, with very good ingredients, the price is the best I know. It comes in refill form but also in nice plastic containers.
It lathers easily, just a few swirls on the surface of the soap, a few drops of warm water and the lather explodes. As you can see, the lather is excellent. I am impressed with the performance of this inexpensive yet quality soap.
Today, I ordered two more, the "Mastic- Lavender" in the plastic container and the "Lavender, Spearmint & Palmarosa blend" in refill.
