    label.jpg ingredients.jpg soap in container.jpg soap in mug.jpg lather in mug.jpg pass2.jpg compare3.jpg This is a "croap," which is a combination cream/soap like Cella. It lathers easily in a mug. The container that holds this 4.4 oz. puck is not big enough for me. I added a photo comparing this soap (out of the container) size-wise with Mama Bear's (top); an Arko tub (left); and Williams (right). The price is $12.99 ($3.25/oz.) so it is medium-priced. It has a milder scent than Williams, but it is more natural and feels fresh during the lathering process. I shaved twice: once with several days growth, once with one day's growth. The lather is rich, it does not dissipate, and provides a fine cushion. This is a soap obviously targeted for those who want to vicariously experience the nostalgia of the original product that made the J.B. Williams Co. famous. Be advised: if you are satisfied with the current Williams product, it is considerably less expensive. One store carries it in my city at $1.09 for the 1.75 oz. puck ($0.62/oz). I like Connecticut Yankee Soap and will probably continue using it as long as it is manufactured.

    Nice review. I've never used WSP soaps before but have always heard positive reviews of them.

    :signs011: Used WSP Rustic Shave Soap- Vetiver today. I love their soap and agree with all you have said about it. I might have to try some croap from them.
