When you fall in love with the soap (and you will!) you can then just buy pucks to refill the tub, and save some money while also saving on some plastic waste.

Just shaved with the tub of coniferous I got for Christmas. Performance was excellent, as expected, however the scent was disappointing. The scent of conifers, pines etc. is subtly in there but it seems to be upstaged by the smell of dirt of all things. Hmmm.... 0 for two so far, the Puros left a lot to be desired too.
I've bought more soaps than I can count whose fragrances looked great on paper, but were really disappointing, and some so off-putting I couldn't bring myself to use them. Thankfully one man's pleasure is another man's pain, and I've almost always been able to trade soaps I didn't like for soaps I did on the BST forum. The Coniferous might make somebody's day...

and a container made for the puck.

I have too many soaps and get bored quick. I prefer Stirling's refill puck, bought with the smaller, empty container they sell. The larger tubs usually find their way to the bottom of my shave soap drawer and don't get used as much.
