convenient for travel strong lemon smell [SEP] i bought this before a recent vacation to avoid traveling with larger more expensive creams that might get taken by a fickle tsa agent the diameter is similar to that of a silver dollar and it is only inches tall great for compact packing packing i passed the soap across my face a couple of times and was able to generate a very nice lather using a boar brush the shave was mildly cushioned and comfortably slick but the smell was too much like lemon pledge wood polish for my liking i will keep this for short business trips and the like but it will not be a regular soap in my rotationquick tip after carelessly tearing the top wrapper leaving the soap potentially exposed for the trip home i was able to cover the soap using the foil wrapper off the neck of a champagne bottle i am sure there are better ways to do it but that might help you out in a jam
