In 2006 I bought a Shavemac brush and it came with a puck of Haslinger. Since I was new to wetshaving and most of my experience was with soaps I could melt (Saint Charles Shave, Col. Conk), I tried to melt the Haslinger and you can guess how that turned out. I tossed that without ever using it.
Earlier this year I bought another Shavemac brush and, once again, got another free puck of Haslinger (one of the blue ones, can't remember which). I opened it to smell it (neutral scent) and tossed it in a ziploc bag. I found it yesterday and gave it a try. Whoa! This stuff is awesome! It developed a lather quicker than anything this side of MdC, and that lather proved to be slick and comfortable. I tried it again today to make sure I didn't have some fluke experience. Nope. This is the real deal.
So now that I'm officially a Haslinger fan, I have two questions:
1. How long do these pucks last?
2. Has anyone found a good travel case to hold these? I've seen some empty four ounce tubs for sale, but I'd like something short that I can easily throw in my travel shave kit.
