Wow this soap. So, the bright blue 4x bigger 4x longer soap smells like Gilette. The smell reminded me of how my dad smelled when I was a kid. This isn't a bad thing, I quite like the subtle smell of male bathroom, not like a teenager.
SECOND THOUGHTS
This bar was regraded - the review was built over 2.5 months and hte intial value score was given when I unboxed the bar. Since using the bar for over 70 washes it delivers a wash for 18p, which is undeniable value.

This is a very good lathering soap.
It smells subtle but persistent, a nice male smell
It does feel like a premium soap and it's MASSIVE but it does cost a lot as well (even in spite of it's size the value just isn't there). This is incorrect - since completing the bar and running the numbers this bar actually comes in with impressively low cost per wash. So while the price is high - it lasts a very long time and costs as little as 18p per wash.
It felt like it lasted a long time and performed consistently throughout even after travelling with the bar.
It does feel great on the skin after a shower but it is a little bit like a film, but it's a soft and silky film that carries a nice scent and is not at all irritant on my sensitive skin. Unlike a lot of soaps it doesn't leave you feeling tight or grippy.
This soap I bought as a joke as the branding looked funny. The price is, well, the price is undeniably high. I have since found out that there is quite a few different flavour bars and I am going to buy another one. This is how much I like this bar! I love the size, when it's new and for a long time it feels like a nice handful of soap, it fills the bag almost entirely at the start. The soap is keen to lather, and it's thick and creamy - a robust lather, very close to the almighty Dalan. The thing that ultimately lets this soap down for me is the price - but, even considering the price, it's amazing soap. It's the closest shower gel experience I've had from a soap in a bag. This soap comes highly recommended (and I did not think that would be the case going into this). This is also the first soap that has been tracked through out it's life on the platform giving you real stats about how long soaps last.
It's difficult to score this soap. As, it is very good, but it's more than 3x the price of MOST other soap per 100g, which means it simply cannot score high - this is approaching boutique cold press soap prices for a reletively mass produced bar. I thought this soap was a gimmick, it is not, but it is very expensive. I still recommend it - just, maybe as a once a year treat.
Four things off the man's own shelf go in a box, £15 plus postage. The stock decides which four.
