My only problem is at 3 oz, it's going fast. With two price hikes in no time (now $15) I have been looking at the options for a different barbershop replacement. Mike's barbershop was mentioned as an exact match, so that's probably in my near future. I never asked how it compares in scent strength. Anyone have an opinion?

Thanks.

IMO, they are about the same....scent and scent strength.

Can you recommend some other black soaps?

I was perusing the Gifts & Care website this evening when I came across this soap. I remembered your question from this morning and thought, at the very least, I could share the brand with you. I've never tried it, so I have no idea how good the lather/scents are or whether it's worth buying.

That's a very black soap. Thanks for posting the picture. Definitely one I'll want to add to my list. Smile

Stella Alpina v. (Saponificio Varesino) citrus, eucalyptus, woods

For a triple milled soap, SA is disappearing surprisingly fast. After only twenty shaves it’s halfway gone. It’s also 2½ years old, but age hasn’t dimmed the scent or dulled the performance in any way. It still smells rich and bright, full of juicy citrus and sharp woods. The lather stays slick and stable. I wish it would last forever, but it looks like I’ll be ordering another puck sometime in the next three years. Better start saving now.
