In that case I'm confused as to the complaint about how full the tin was. I agree with you that it's quite expensive, did you only realise that it was 80g when you received it?

Im not Wayne but from his writings I assume that he knew that the soap was 80 gr.
He just didnt expect the tin to be so small and not only it was small but it was half filled with soap , making it difficult to load properly the brush. At least, Wayne expected to be full this tiny tin.
Ps Oh I hate those small travel tins!

Its not a complaint mate, when I bought it I enjoyed the scent, tin, performance and after shave face feel. It’s good stuff no problem saying that. I have zero problem with the soap I just think it is expensive for what it is and when @Mr_Smartepants showed the picture of the same size tub WSP it really brought it home just how little actual product is in the tin 2.82 oz if it is accurate which I have no doubt it is. I didn’t realize it was only 80g when I ordered so it is my oversight. So to recap apart from the quantity the product is really good.

Would you buy another one for 13£?
I recently bought a Goodfellas Smile Soap. It is a small plastic puck, only the Semogue 620 can load from there BUT the price is 8 euros and the quantity is 100gr of soap. The container also is full until the lid. And really it is a good soap!
If Oatface wants to keep the same price as now, I'm with him, because the ingredients list is kinda unique from what I see, but:
- at least make it 100gr or
- put the 80gr in a bigger diameter tin or
- Fill the same tin with soap until the edge. (the least preferable solution for me)
I don't write anything else. You guys will hate me!

No. Sorry. It's good but there are better value soaps that have all the same attributes. I don't want anyone thinking I have a downer on this soap, I haven't I really like it and if it ever gets up to 4oz for the same price I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

This is a response from the inside of my mind..The same goes for Haslinger soaps(60gr),it is like I am deceived, but in Greece at least they cost 4,50 euros. So no complain here.
I edited my post. Read the rest please for science only!

I'll answer this one. Probably yes.
The sample I got of Lavender Melt is THE BEST smelling lavender soap I've ever used! I'm really regretting not buying a full tin of it when I ordered.
I do have some issues with the soap base and lather quality (there are improvements to be found), but overall it is a very good soap and the lavender melt smells incredible. If I do order another Oatcake soap, it will definitely be the Lavender Melt.
I still haven't posted my review yet, and I don't want to spoil it.

What were the problems with the soap base and lather quality?
Have you tried Barrister's Reserve lavender?

- My worst ever soap was Trumpers Eucris hard shaving soap. Fantastic scent but couldn't get it to generate any kind of lather. Used it as bath soap instead and bought their Eucris shaving cream which has the same great scent but lathers properly.
- MWF - Only got a decent lather a few times; mainly just a disappointment no matter how hard I tried. This together with smelling like mothballs from granny's kicker drawer gave it a thumbs down. It even dried up and cracked. I tried re-hydrating it and also grating it into another cake but those ideas were dead ducks too.
- Just about every "artisan" soap (not the ones you see on these forums) I've bought from a market have been a dead loss.

You'll have to wait for the review.
This is the wrong thread for that anyway, at least my comments.Yes, the Oatcake smells better. But the B&M performs better.
Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I knew the tin was small and only contained 80g when I bought two of them. No oversight by me.

I bought a tin of soap, I never checked the small print on quantity I don't think I have slated it I have sung it's praises in every department apart from one I don't think that's too bad, but all opinions are valid

Contents good, value disappointing about sums it up and that is how I started.
