I greatly appreciate all the feedback folks have provided us over the last 3 months. Even though we have had very good success with the first variation on the formula, some (including me at times) felt the soap was too soft to be lathered effectively in containers.
I took this feedback into strong consideration and have modified my formula accordingly to increase the hardness and “in-tub” lathering ability of the soap.
Rest assured, the ingredients have not changed – other than the ratio of our saopnification agents, so you can expect the same performance from a lather, cushion, and post-shave feel that you did with the previous version — but with a harder soap.
Thanks for your support and feedback, it’s invaluable for me!

The best value in wet shaving, PERIOD!! I have tried more soaps than I can remember, and Viking is my top value and performing soap and balms. IMO the balms are better than any other popular balm used in the shaving community. If you don’t have a Viking soap or balm, GET IT!
