It's terrible, even worse than Trumper's soap. Nice smell thoughI don’t hold out any hope for this soap as it really doesn’t have good reviews but really like the ceramic pot it comes in even if it’s to put a better soap in, it will be a bit of a fun challenge all the same

Ordered it for the soap dish really but as you have tried it i would be interested to know some variants as in do you have hard or soft water, also read the bad reviews but most of them seem to use with a synthetic brush not saying that’s what has caused it but did wonder if it might perform different with a natural brush with more backbone also be interesting to see if grating the soap and remoulding it makes any difference ? Granted it probably isn’t a great soap but I am interested to see just how bad it is and if anything can make a differenceIt's terrible, even worse than Trumper's soap. Nice smell though
I have hard water. Alas, I can't remember what brush I used. It was one of the first soaps I bought when I started out. With any luck, they have reformulated it since then.Ordered it for the soap dish really but as you have tried it i would be interested to know some variants as in do you have hard or soft water, also read the bad reviews but most of them seem to use with a synthetic brush not saying that’s what has caused it but did wonder if it might perform different with a natural brush with more backbone also be interesting to see if grating the soap and remoulding it makes any difference ?

Interesting the water doesn’t get any softer than it is here so if it’s going work anywhere it would be here..will give it a whirl and see how it goes and try some different variants, if it’s a fail then no great worry I love the dish so that’s something ! Going to try the trumpers too soon not expecting much more than defeat and certainly won’t be trying with a straight but it will be an experience if nothing else..the only soap I really had trouble with when I first started was the new version of Williams but I may even be tempted to give that another go just so I can say it wasn’t my lathering skills lolI have hard water.

Good lord how long does custom clearance take nowadays!? I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning (and I'm fairly certain that I'm almost immediately going to have to part with it to have it honed which saddening!)View attachment 67519
It's an ebay gamble so we'll see if it pays off, Friodur 72-V
