What fragrance pal?

I have the bay rum and the rose ones, both great soaps IMO

If I order this soap in bar form, can it be softened and but into a boar or mug, or would I have to cut it to fit into a mug? Thanks.

Also, for those that have the bars, what do you usually store them in?

No, it cant be soften with heat, like a glycerin soap. I us a cheese grate to shred the soap and press it into a container of choice. It gets compacted real well and takes the shape of the vessel nicely. I have put it on shaving mugs, crystal containers with tops and even on a spent deodorant stick for travel (face lathering).

I found the soap losses some of its smell as times passes, however, the lather it produces is the same. It doesn't matter if its a seal container or not. Before the shave I wet the soap to soften and make it easier to load the brush.

I leave the bar wrapped up until ready to shred and transfer to a container. I have also used it in hand and put to dry on a soap dish, before putting it away again. Hope this helped. Double O

The bars are pliable to some extent, I fit two bars in two empty cram tubs with zero issues.

The 2 that I have are the Hungarian Lavender and Peppermint & Rosemary. Both have nice scents. If you like the scent of lavender, then the Hungarian Lavender is a good buy. I never thought that I'd like peppermint soap, but this one was great.

I forgot what type I got for the bath soap. I used it up in less than 2 weeks from daily showers. I remember that the scent was very light. It was a good, moisturizing soap, but it was a bit too soft for me. I like the hard bath soaps that can hold their shape throughout the soap life.

ive been using them a lot since i got them ..
i have the
Barber Shop
Pine & Cedarwood

both great scents !!

The scent of vetiver is "wet grass"?? It has to be more than that. I can't see how having my face smell like wet grass is a good thing. Maybe I should get a sample first before buying a full tin...

I just ordered Barber Shop and OCB in tin form, a bar of Lemongrass & Eucalyptus , and samples of Coconut and Vetiver.
