Col. Ichabod Conk Glycerin Soap (Almond 4 Pack)

Great lathering soap very gentle on my skin. Clean fragrance.

I've been buying Col. Ichabod Conk Glycerin Soap since my early 20s. I would have stocked up if I'd known they were going to change it for the worse like this. I really did try to give the new version a chance. I used to melt it in my shave mug in the microwave so it would cover the bottom bottom evenly and make it easier to lather up. No can do with the new version; its composition is completely different. Despite my best efforts it can't produce a decent lather, and the smell seems appealing when dry but it's just a cheap cover-up that doesn't measure up to the original when wet. I don't know if some logistical issue forced them to change things up, or if some profit-squeezing, buzzword-swilling new management came in and crapped in the punch bowl, but a once great product is officially ruined. I'll have to savor my last bar of the original and then start shopping for a new shave soap for the first time in 16 years. What a shame.

Stands my beard up and has a unique odor. No bumps or cuts on my skin. I put the puck in a cup. Then into the microwave for 30 secs. It melts and molds to the container. When it cools it hardens and is ready to use.

Excellent soap for shaving. Lathers very nicely with a pleasant smell.

Pretty good overall. My only complaint is the lather fades away pretty quick regardless of consistency. I would imagine the same thing happens on all the natural/plant based shave soaps. It's definitely a very clean feeling product and they didn't put much scent into it which makes for a good sensitive skin shave soap.Again, my only complaint is how fast you have to work with it because of the quickly fading lather. I had to lather small sections at a time. That's the only reason to didn't give it 5 stars. It is a very gentle and good feeling soap though.

I have been buying this product for many years. I noticed in the photo they changed the picture so when I ordered it this last time, I had hoped nothing else had changed. However, I soon discovered that the size of the bar is reduced but the price was not. Also, the shape was changed and I'm not sure I really like it. I mean I know previously it was shipped in plastic and now it's shipped in cardboard that's fine. But you had a good product for many many years so I'm not sure what the additional changes were needed for. I guess it's just like the 1/2 of ice cream that are no longer 1/2 gallon. Looks like I'll be trying out some new brands.Also in the description they still show the old weight but the product shipped i the new lower weight!!! You should at the least correct the size of what you are sending to customers.Update: After using for several days for sure as others have posted the formula has been changed. There really is no smell and the lather is not what it was. This does not even seem like shaving soap anymore more like just soap. I used some of the Ivory from the shower and lather was the same and at least the Ivory had some sent.You have lost a long time customer!!!

I've been using this for 10 years and it's wonderful. It lathers well and you get a good shave. It smells really nice. I use it daily and one container lasts about one month. Pay attention to the size of the container. These are the size of a small puck. I usually use the larger ones.

I have enjoyed Colonel Conk soap for several years. I love almond scents and theirs WAS an excellent choice at a great price.I went to replenish my supply and was surprised to receive 4 cardboard boxes, rather than the usual plastic. So, the advertisement photo does not reflect the product you receive.It is definitely not the same type of soap, either. Sure, I am still able to shave but, the quality from, both, the scent and the lather is subpar in comparison to the prior formula. Is it usable? Yes. Would I ever buy this again? No.So, if this is the new product, I will be searching for my new go to shave soap.
