About a little over halfway through the tub and have been using daily for quite a while now and I'm happy with the product overall. I'm not really going to go into a lot of specifics considering its a discontinued base which to my understanding has been replaced with Omnibus indefinitely but I will say that I had 0 issues with it personally. It fits quite firmly in the 'excellent' tier for me. It has kept its scent, loads easily, lathers easily, is plenty slick and has a great post-shave feel. It definitely needs quite a bit of water though and I would classify it as thirsty but you are rewarded with a really hydrated yet still amazingly dense and creamy lather.
What I really want to discuss is the scent. Many consider this to be one of the all time greats of wetshaving but I'd have to disagree. I don't find anything particularly stellar about the scent. There isn't a lot of description on the kind of scent that it is other than 'citrus infused barbershop'. I don't know about you, but that means nothing to me. On the side label, there is a sticker that says: citrus, herbs and oakmoss. This is the most accurate description of the scent. It is citrus forward with a lemon zest scent (think natural lemon as opposed to yellow skittle or lemon sherbert) followed by a heavy herbacious base of rosemary and patchouli (I don't get much lavender personally) and then finished off with oakmoss. It begins bright and becomes quite herbacious and earthy as you continue to smell it. It has grown on me but its certainly not a must buy for me. I think citrus scents (at least for shaving) are not for me.
