Astoria (Moon) wet fir
Shave 3 ・ 165 g
This puck must be fairly old. Reviews mention that Moon soaps are typically very soft, almost like creams, but Astoria is much firmer – more in line with most artisan soaps. I’m using around 1.7 grams per shave, similar to a Barrister & Mann soap. If anything, it’s a bit too firm, as it takes about 150 swirls to fully load my brush. The lather itself, though protective, isn't quite as dense or creamy as I like. I'll have to keep working on that.

Ariana & Evans - Summer Fig (Kaizen)
I'm just going to ditto my post from June:
I got rid of my ~25 A&E soaps a year or so ago, as there is a face tingle with most/all of them and not particularly a fan of the mostly synthetic (and mostly busy) scents I had.
All except this one. Not sure why, I'm not particularly into fig or fruit scents. But I do enjoy this scent enough and no question the lather is SO EASY and effective... Might have to rediscover A&E again someday.
