It was incredible, David. It made lather faster than most of my other soaps, and the lather was fantastic, possibly even slightly better than that produced by the vintage Floris No. 89. I had expected a lemony fragrance, but it was a very pleasant green scent. Clearly this is going to be a favorite soap.

I agree, John. I've only used as intended, as a stick, and lather generates so easily. I'm thinking these are some 25-30 years older than the No.89, and the scent is wonderful.
