One of my tins was bashed in. Doesn't really smell of much to me. Could be worse I guess. Lathered OK but the true test is in the shave. Not bad for the price.

Which part of the Hobbit? Naturally leathery soles perhaps?

I saw a programme once that said that whole towns/cities in China only make one thing eg umbrellas & that you won't find them made anywhere else. Does this mean that there's a town/city somewhere in China that makes nothing but shaving soap ?

Tried my Blue Brand this morning. It's a really nice soap. Thick lather, excellent cushion and a pleasing, though faint, scent. After shave feel is very nice. China has probably been making soap since before the days when all of Europe avoided it as causing fevers and scrofula. Also, it cannot be economically justified to 'cheat' on a product which is so cheap to make with natural ingredients.
Recommend this highly!

Why are we giving the Chinese credit for this soap, when it clearly says on the label: MADE IN NEW ZELAND? It's obviously made by Peter Jackson's hobbits.

Ignoring the price, I reckon it is a good enough soap but far from outstanding. Though it gave me an excellent shave, this is not a soap. imo. to rave about. Considering the price, it has to give many of our favourite sticks a run for their money.
No doubt my puck will become lost as it works its way to the bottom of a pile and the back of a shelf.
