Received a tub of Tree of Life from his latest batch today and used it tonight on a 1½ day growth. The soap arrived in their new wide tubs that are 5 oz. of tallowy goodness and the listed notes are oakmoss & sandalwood of which IMO the former is more prevalent. Strength is medium, but as with all their scents very tasteful. I would in fact go so far as to state this scent falls into a "barbershop" genre. I find it very......soothing, for lack of a better word. Those who have used this brand before know that it loves water and then some as it becomes more slippery with more water. PSF is very, very good for those who treasure such.
In conclusion, for $12 + $3 for timely shipping this soap is damn near unbeatable and you get 5 oz. to boot!! I just want to add that with Viking shave soaps I cannot help but notice (and sense) the exquisite quality of materials he uses that I don't get from 95%+ of other artisan soaps. Chiseled Face comes to mind re quality, but Viking is IMO just simply a better shaver. YMMV.
