Just scored some vintage mystery soap off of EBay (it came with a strop I purchased, and also included a well used brush that will be seeing some resto work as well...).
Anyhow, it (the mug anyhow, and the brush) say simply "Barbershop" on it, with the tagline "old time luxury".
I washed the puck off well, and then gave it a run through the cheese grater and milled it into the bottom of the mug. The slick feel, and the resulting test lather certainly make me think that this is a tallow soap. The scent is rather faint and neutral/soapy.
Anybody else come across, or know anything about this brand?
1st shave is tomorrow a.m.
