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's only 3-3.5 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 rotation.<br /><br />Quick 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'm sure there are better ways to do it, but that might help you out in a jam.
