Okay, I've now tried several of Sue's soaps and IMHO they are simply the best...better than all of the tallow based soaps I have tried including AOS, DR Harris, and the hallowed MWF. I knocked scent off a point because straight out of the package it was a little weak when compared to the others I have tried so far (Bay Rum with Orange, Cavendish Black, and my fave Oak and Moss) but once lathered it really comes alive!
