Rustic Art Tea Tree Shaving soap quickly gives a very good amount of lather. Not much effort is required. About 15-20 swirls with a wet shaving brush gives you enough soap for a three pass shave. The lather does not dissipate and gives more than enough sleekness for a smooth shave. The only downside (for me) is its perfume. All of us remember the smell coming from drawer full of wollen clothes with a few moth balls. If you have forgotten it, then this soap will rekindle your memories of opening up the drawer on the first cold day of the year after one year of disuse! Luckily, the smell does not last long and since I shave before taking bath, at the end of my bath it is long gone. Except for this small irritant (not a deal breaker for me), excellent soap for everyday use. I am happy that I bought it.
