Recent SOTDs by @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social made me remember my stash of Haslinger soaps. There's nothing really wrong with the soap itself, and they make a serviceable lather, but the tiny tubs mean that the soap is difficult to load with a regular sized brush. I've copied the solution to this problem from @Semaj3000@wetshaving.social , and use them like a shave stick, just rubbing the puck over my face.

How do you find this one? From the 3 I have, I find Ringelblume extremely drying - which is a shame, because I like the scent.

I don't know about drying. I may have insensitive skin though.
