Review (5/5): I'm spoiled now.
Knowing the softening effect lanolin has on skin, I had high hopes ordering this soap and was not disappointed.
The soap takes a few minutes of work to get a suitable lather, but I'm not in a hurry when getting ready to lay a straight razor against my throat.
The lather has a pleasant scent and does a great job of lubricating the skin.
I have found the soap easy to rinse off with no lingering film and leaves my face supple.
The soap cake was a bit larger than my shaving mug, requiring that I shave down the edges to fit and knead the flakes back in with a little warm water, but my mug runs a little on the small side.
Overall, I would recommend this soap to anyone interested in wet shaving, it performs well and the old-fashioned looking packaging actually makes for a neat decorative item if you're going for a Victorian Era look.
