Weight of shaving soaps

[nav]

I just got my new puck of trumpers rose and I had read in an another post that it weighs more than the stated 80g. I put it on the scales and and it came to exactly 95g...sweet I thought!

I then weighed other soaps and they came up as:
-CADE 100g: 113g (used about 15 times)
-DRH arlington 100g: 109g (used about 10 times)
-MWF 125g: 121g (used about 15-20 times).

So I am guessing most pucks come in well over the stated which is probably the minimum allowable under advertising laws.

Or else your scales need calibrating..

Or they absorbed moisture since they were packaged.

I really like Trumpers soaps and for me they are a top product.

You are correct though, Trumpers is good soap and it needs to be because gram for gram it is expensive relative to many other top shelf English products.

Personnaly, I think they do themselves a dis service by packaging in this way.

Sort of comes accross to me as penny pinching and seems totally unnecessary.

Am I reading it wrong, or didn't he say he got MORE product than was advertised?

I read that they all give over. It's just Trumpers give the lowest weight for the $.

15g for an 80g puck is quite a lot of moisture given the soap was tightly packed in shrink wrap. Not sure if its possible but who knows...

Girlfriend bought brand new scales for the kitchen and it is accurate with other things so I am confident in its calibration. I even tested it manually (using things I knew the exact weight of) and it was ok.

I agree. I have read a few posts about trumpers soaps being between 90-100g. They should just get them to 100g and state that on the pack cos for an 80g puck, it is one of the most expensive.

I gotta say I absolutely love the soap and it will be in my rotation for ever! I had the best shaving experience with it this morning! I got the trumpers rose cream tub for my cream using brother, he loves the scent too.

my soap is put into a 4 oz container... containers are measured by fluid ounces.. so that container holds 4 fl oz of water.. or 4 fl. oz. of soap.

but pop that soap out of the tub and you will find it weighs over 4.5 - 5 oz. That would be measuring by weight instead of fl. oz. Its just safer to go with the smaller amount....

make sense?
