I picked up some soaps from a fellow on the B&B that he purchased from Etsy.com. I've been wanting to try the Madame Scodioli brand shaving soaps for awhile but was hesitant because I wondered whether they could contend with the classics we use.

I must say I was quite pleased. My "Fiji Mermaid" soap has a wonderful smell of the ocean and it lathered as well as any soap I have used. I am still enjoying its aroma on my cheeks! At $8/bar its worth the price of admission. The soap is pretty soft. I was able to squeeze it into one of my tin containers and I used rubber cement to attach the label.

Here's a pic of the lather I generated without much effort:
