very nice [SEP] i have been using vanerhagen soap with no complaints i just wanted to try a new soap i like the scent it lathers well and the razor glides over my skinits large diameter does not fit my shaving mug i used a cheese shredder and reduced the diameter put the shredded soap in the mug compressed it and then pressed the remaining soap in on top using the same one i do not shave every day times a week probably months left
