After sporadic usage in the past few months I am totally inclined to agree that this is one of the best soaps I have ever used, bar none. Although it is not tallow and is full of various "butters" it flat out works. There is absolutely zero blade "drag" with this soap using a top tier blade. None. Nada. Nichts. It's as if you are running your razor against glass lubed with Teflon. The after shave face feel is unsurpassed for those of you who look for this in a soap. The scents are strong on some and not so on others. If I had to buy a tub it would be the Lavender & Peppermint. I admit I was skeptical as I am a confirmed tallow adherent, but shaving is believing and this baby delivers in spades. It requires very little water and the lather is simply luxurious. This rivals the top tier tallow soaps in flat out performance and frankly on the whole is better than the vast majority of them. Try it.
