Tradition Shaving Soap Refill

I bought this to replace a 12-15 year old Osma Alum shave soap that I've finally almost used up.I knew this was a different version, but decided to give it a try, as the alum version was one of my favorites for both lather and scent.My main problem with this version is that while the alum version creates a thick, rich lather that lasts, the lather from this product is not stable. By the time you shave half your face, the lather has almost disappeared from the other side.This will be going in the bin.Scent is ok, somewhat similar to the alum version, but different, less strong.
