... And again, with image recycled to protect the environment. Every time I use this soap, I'm more and more grateful that I managed to snag a few backups before it became totally unavailable.

SOTD – Wed 1 Feb 2023​

Shave Result: Stuga soap is hard but still pliable enough to slice a small portion off the puck (about 1.25gm) and pressed into the bottom of my bowl. The lather was built quickly and formed a lovely rich, creamy, medium density lather with excellent primary slickness, the residual could be better and after shave feel was good. Lather scent from the regular strength soap is the expected Coconut with a background of Lime, scent strength 5/10. The AL TRC shaves quite similar to the OverLander but I get more blade feel and not quite as smooth, still a very good DFS with no irritations.
