A puck of Cade fits snug in this mini casserole. The ceramic base and lid are homey yet elegant. I found it in the kitchen gadgets aisle in the grocery store. Should last forever, just like the soap that's in it.
Great idea is that about a one cup size?

I would describe T&H Sandalwood as a more cologne type Sandalwood. I personally do not like Proraso sandalwood, and they do not smell similar at all. The scent will only last so long but I think it smells awesome, that's what makes use it since I don't like cream and their soap pucks don't have tallow so I don't see the point in using them to be honest. I have never used proraso cream, so I cannot comment on that but I have used TOBS and maybe it is just in my head but I believe T&H has better performance than TOBS. I hope this helped.

The scent I'm actually going for is Duke Cannon Beer soap. It's supposed to be a spicy sandalwood. Since I have had zero luck finding a shave soap like that, figured I'd look for something like Proraso instead. My time with Proraso was a while back, but I recall it being a spicy sandalwood type scent. Figured if I could find that with more staying power (and less diaper ointment after-scent, lol) I'd be happy enough.
The quest continues.
