    This was my first negative experience with shaving soaps.

    +hand made
    +nice container
    +small scale local production

    -very pungent unpleasant smell of etheric oils
    -erates/disapates very qiuckly
    -stings badly on face at application (even before the first pass)

    It feels like my face is on fire. I do not recommend this to anyone.

    Ingredients (swedish copy paste):
    Cocosolja (sodium cocate), ekologisk ricinolja (sodium castorate (organic)), ister (lard), ekologisk sheasmör (sodium shea butterate (organic)), ekologisk kakaosmör (sodium cocoa butterate (organic)), mangosmör (sodium mango butterate), lanolin (lanolin), ekologisk glycerin, ekologisk havregryn (oatmeal (organic)).

    Essential oils: Lime (citrus aurantifolia oil), lavendel, (lavendula angustifolia), grönmynta (mentha spicata herb oil), ekologisk rosmarin (rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil (organic)), eucalyptus (eucalyptus globulus leaf oil (organic)) och pepparmynta (mentha arvensis leaf oil), limonene, linalool, citral

    While I'd love to visit Sweden someday in my life, I can appreciate that it appears to be the fiery soap you claim it is, with the country's overly cold climate.

    Any ingredients that raise a red flag for you guys?

    RyX DoH!

    Some people have an issue with lime oil. I see "lard" rather than Tallow. That means pork fat instead of cow fat.

    Fragrance is the usual suspect. Don't let words like "natural" or "organic" fool you. Essential oils are quite strong and can cause major irritaton. Especially if they dump in a lot, and your description sounds like they did.

    Also, some people are sensitive to lanolin. Have you used other soaps with lanolin?

    I have, so that shouldn't be an issue.

    It's morning, day after the fire shave, my face still feels warm :angry021:
