Let me say upfront that I do NOT have a heavy beard. I normally shave 3-4 times per week. I’m retired so a little grubbiness doesn’t bother me. These bars provide plenty of shaving soap, and have a pleasant scent to them. I simply place the bar under warm water for a few seconds and then rub it between my hands to generate the soap before applying to my face. I usually do this twice to make sure my whiskers are soft before shaving.I wanted to buy a cup and brush but never got around to buying them. It works well by using the technique I mentioned.Also, these last a good long time, although the fragrance begins to fade after time.And, they are much cheaper than buying cans of shaving gel. Try them, you won’t be disappointed.

Update. The seller offered a full refund and I will try again to see if I just got a bad batch of soap.I've only used the Cedar and Pine puck. It lathers and shaves well. However, this puck has no, I mean zero, scent. A very smooth yet bland shave. I like to smell fresh after a shave, so I doubt I'll purchase this brand again unless the 3 other pucks blow me away.

I had minor issues initially with these shaving soaps, but I have to tell you that I have never seen such attentive customer service on any product on Amazon that compares at all to the care this company takes about its product. I have come around to respecting the product line for this as well as its shaving qualities. Four soaps came in the pack. I liked the scent of three and I am gifting the fourth one to someone who is just getting into wet shaving with a double edge safety razor. I use a Merkur R89 on most days, which has replaced my Edwin Jagger DE as go to razor and when I have the luxury of some extra time, I alternate between a Feather Artist Club and three straight edge razors, a Thiers Issard Spanish Point, a Dovo Bismark, and a Ralf Aust custom designed razor. I have been using fine shaving instruments for about 12 years now.On to the soap ... they all foam up to a good consistency which in every case with the above hardware, provides good glide, cushion and protection. I have yet to nick myself using this soap. There are eight different flavors so you are bound to find something to your liking. The scents are nice and do not linger, so if you want something that will not conflict with colognes, aftershaves and even deodorants, these are a good choice. At first the pucks seemed to go quickly but I realized I was just applying too much soap. A little bit of these pucks goes a long way and I was throwing away a lot of good foam at the beginning, or rather I used the foam to exfoliate my entire face with the leftovers. Now, I just use less. The last item I'd like to comment on is the price. Shaving soaps run the gamut in pricing and you can burn funds quickly purchasing some of them. Viking, however, is priced very reasonably, so that there is little excuse for not having these as part of your regular shaving arsenal. If you like variety in a fine reasonable priced product, these are definitely a way to go.Ps. Thank you to Anne at Viking Customer Care for her impressive follow-up.

I have used different shaving soaps for many years some I liked and others I did not. I purchased this 4 pack of Viking back in Oct. but really did not get a change to use it until a couple weeks ago as I was trying to finish up some other brands I had. I will say this shaving soap beats them all hands down. It has a rich full lather and goes on smooth and stays where you put it. No dripping. Gives a great smooth shaves and leaves your face feeling moisturized and not dried out. It now has become the only shaving cream I will ever use. For this price it is a high quality cream and you really cannot go wrong. One of the best on the market in my honest opinion..

Suds up nicely with very little water, and they all smell really good! Has improved my shaving enjoyment considerably, and it's less wasteful than the cans.

These shave soaps work great and create a nice lather. They smell nice, but the smell is very subtle, which I appreciate.
