My first expensive soap puck was from Truefitt and Hill. I was in Carwins shave shop in Oklahoma City and the smell coming from the Truefitt and Hill section was maddening. They had a wide selection and I selected a few to try. The only real word to describe my experience was LUXURY. This puts Arko, Williams and VDH in a whole different league. Yes the price is in whole different league as well but I am now hooked on luxury soaps. With as much as I spend on suits, ties and ammunition I can splurge every few months on a soap or two! I have enough Arko to last me through a year (12 pack) but as long as I have a job I will be sampling the various boutique soaps for sale. This stuff is slick and lathers like an Englishman would expect his soap to lather. Shaving ATG is painless and there is always plenty on my brush for multiple passes.
The Sandalwood smell is wonderful yet not overpowering, my wife is now constantly smelling me which is a big plus, that is worth $20 of the $26 price tag right there. The puck seems to last and last as all large pucks do so no surprise there. The only complaint I have is that it will not melt easily and must be grated to fit whatever container you have for it. Not a big deal and the gentlemen on B&B have helped me through this problem. I love this website and wanted to give a little back by reviewing all the soaps I have tried. I've done the same on my tobacco, suit and firearm forums so I will try to help out the forums here by doing the same over the years. Thank you B&B, you have changed the way I wake up in the mornings!
