This soap is the real deal. Tallow is the main ingredient, regarded by many shaving enthusiasts (myself included) as yielding the creamiest, slickest, and most protective lather possible. In addition, this soap is rich in vegetable glycerin, kokum butter, shea butter, and avocado oil. It also contains kaolin clay, which creates a slick buffer between your skin and the blade. The icing on the cake is lanolin, a waxy substance derived from the wool of sheep and a fantastic conditioner and humectant. This soap will provide an effortless and downright decadent shave that will leave your skin feeling soft, supple, and smooth. Each puck weighs between 4 and 4.5 ounces is about 3 inches wide and 1.25 inches thick.

Hungarian Lavender: I've acquired a Hungarian lavender essential oil that I'm very enthusiastic about. It's flowery, herbaceous, earthy, and fresh.
Lavandin & Eucalyptus: A subtle scent similar to lavender, but with a slightly more camphorous, slightly less floral quality. More invigorating than calming/soothing.
Lemongrass & Eucalyptus: Dry, lemony, and invigorating.
Lime: Simple, sweet, citrusy invigorating lime
Orange, Cedarwood, Black Pepper: While orange is the dominant scent here, a judicious blend of cedarwood and black pepper is easily discerned and provides additional complexity.
Peppermint & Rosemary: A minty, fresh, and herbaceous combo that imparts a mild cooling sensation to the skin.
Pine & Cedarwood: This scent is simultaneously invigorating and warm. The dominant note is pine, which is backed up and rounded out by a cedarwood base.

Rose, Patchouli, Cedarwood: Sweet and delicate rose geranium rounds out a soft, woody base of patchouli & cedarwood.
Unscented: I add no fragrance or essential oils to this soap. It smells simply like the ingredients of which it is composed.
Vetiver: The vetiver essential oil used in this soap hails from Haiti. It's deep, earthy, smoky, and just a little sweet.
Wild Honeysuckle: The sweet, uplifting scent of wild honeysuckle. Avoid this one if you have an especially sensitive schnoz; it's pretty potent.

Honey & Grapefruit: This soap is scented with essential oil and real honey and has a subtle, yet pleasant mixture of sweet and dry aromas. Caramelized honey is most noticeable in the jar, but a subtle grapefruit scent comes out when lathered.
