Review (5/5): As a new shaver, this is amazing.
Bought this at the recommendation of many online forums for it's newb-friendly lather, and will probably stick with it for a long time to come. Lathers even with hard water, smells like an old barber shop (not to strong, just a nice light fragrance you would expect from shaving creams). This is a Face-Lathering soap, and you may need to soak it in warm, but not hot, water while you soak your brush for the best results. Thoroughly impressed. Lanolin may cause unwanted ingrown hairs for some, so keep an eye on your skin.
