Cons: A bit light on lather, but still worth the purchase
First of all, this product has the BEST SCENT of many I have tried. It smells mostly like sandalwood, with a few other scents as well. This soap is a great product because I am also able to use it as face wash regardless of whether I shave or not. The price is unbeatable ($5) and the scent is great. The lather could use some work, but with a proper amount of massaging with brush or even fingers, it is a fairly good lather for the price. I truly enjoy this and always have a bar in my set.
This is a great shower/shampoo bar, and like another reviewer said, if you are an in the shower shaver with a cartridge razor, I can see how it would work, maybe even great.
As a shave soap trying to build a lather with a brush this soap falls completely short of that goal. After many tries with different methods I gave up using it for a shave soap. I will continue to buy it for a shower/shampoo bar, however. It is excellent for that.
