Item Description
Price: A bit of a sour point because the new reformulation introduced in November 2009, both the puck and bowl do not exude the same feeling of luxury as the original product.
Quality: Regarding the bowl, there are better looking out there, T&H or D.R. Harris comes to mind. The soap itself is good. The set is presented in a hard cardboard box, as most of their other products.
Scent: English Fern, but a bit on the soapy / powdery side. Not a bad thing. It doesn't resemble the EDT scent very closely.
Lather: I've never tried the original English Fern formula with tallow so I can't compare, but perhaps other could chime in on this topic. It lathers very similar to T&H's soap, but takes more effort to get it there.
Efficacy: No complaints
Moisturizing: No complaints
So what makes this product stand out and cost more?! The name, and the presentation to some extent. If you can afford to spend GBP35.00 ($65USD) then there's no reason not to try it. If you feel the cost is on the steep side, then there are other triple milled british soaps which are just as good, or better.

Well, it might only be a rumor.
