Having just finished up my 5th shave with this product, it is definitely earning a spot in my regular rotation.
Price: 6 $7.14 delivered for a smaller than average 65 gram puck puts it slightly above average, considering the soap is hard and is going to last a decent amount of time for it's size.
Quality: 10 Definitely top-notch performance all around, no parabens, no petroleum jelly.
Scent: 10 This, of course is totally YMMV, but I happen to really enjoy the scent of this soap. I tend to enjoy natural smelling soaps, rather than cologne-based ones, and I like the scent to rinse off after the shave, this soap hits the mark in both cases.
Lather: 9 Dense, rich lather, provides top-notch glide/slickness. Very forgiving of the water/soap ratio, even when the lather is a bit too dense, it doesn't lose it's slickness. This soap produces some of the nicest lather I've came across in over-all performance. (Please note that I have completely softened water. With hard water, YMMV.)
Efficacy: 10 Does what it's supposed to do, provides a good close protective shave.
Moisturizing: 5 I find this soap to be very average for after the shave skin care when not followed up by an ASB. In line with Speick, Tabac, Valobra stick.
Please note: 5=average in my rating scale, it doesn't mean bad, it simply means compared to the dozens of other soaps I've tried, it's average.
This soap will definitely find a permanent place in my rotation.
