Viking Revolution Shaving Soap for Men - Shave Soap for Use with Shaving Brush and Bowl for Smoothest Wet Shave, Shaving Soap Puck - 4 Pack Variety, Each Pack 2.5ozCompact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

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.

Great Shaving Mug Soap. I've read some of the reviews. One guy saying the scent is weak. And the package was hard to open.. Cry me a river. I'm a Retired Professional Barber. I've used many. And I do mean many. Different brands varieties etc.. I've purchased this package at least 4X. Since I discovered it. The different scents are meant to be soothing. Not overwhelming. But some cakes are stronger in scent; Than others. Sandlewood may be lighter than the Ceder&Pine.. So there ya go.. This is an excellent long lasting "designer/gourmet" shaving soaps. And For The Price!! Hard to beat..

The soap puck lathers well when used with almost any shaving brush. It is hard enough to retain repeated use in a scuttle or shaving bowl. My method is to "stick" it to the bottom of the bowl/scuttle and then using a well-soaked shaving brush, whisk away at it to create lots of foam.My only gripe is that each soap puck is smaller than the standard size of 3.5 ounces - I guess this is because it is a multi pack, but I wish they had made it the standard size. The soap smell is hardly noticeable - so those of you who are looking for a stronger smelling soap, this is not for you.

I almost never write glowing reviews like this, but I had to let you all know that this is the shave soap I've been looking for for many years. I've tried a variety of $25+ dollar shave soaps, I've tried the cheap ones from Walmart, and I was just starting to think that there wasn't a really great one out there.But let me tell you, I ordered these and I've finally found what I was looking for. First of all, at the time of this writing, four pucks of this stuff was only $10? I have paid four times that amount for a lot of the others I've tried that weren't nearly as good. There's no wasted packaging, I'm not paying for yet another fancy plastic or metal container with these, and every single one of them smells AMAZING. I do a post shave lotion which I don't always do now because I want to keep the smell of these soaps with me for a while, and also because since I've been using these, I get far less razor burn and bumps.But the absolute best part of these is that they lather like a dream. They lather like I didn't even think was possible, a thick, velvety, smooth, fantastic smelling dream. I have actually started shaving more often because it's so great, and also because I am able to with this stuff, due to the razor burn/bump issue not being a problem anymore. I wish I could shake the hand of whoever makes this stuff, great job!I just ordered another set of these because I'm afraid that I won't be able to find these again when I run out.

This is the second time that I have ordered this item, and I was happy enough to buy it again. They are a good value for the price and give you a variety of options.

I am an old time shaving mug and brush guy. Always used, and liked, Old Spice shaving soap, but tried this because of cost and availability. Really like it so far. Makes thick lather, lubricates your face, and leaves the skin so soft I want to kiss myself. Recommend.
