    It seems to be from the 60s, which means it predates the ecomentalists that decreed that tallow was evil.

    It is nice and fatty!

    I think it needs a couple more lathers to get though the dry top bit, and then it will get niiiiiiiiice. Doesn't seem to be any scent kept though, hopefully as i dig in i might get a whif

    Awesome! Even if the soap turns out to be sub-par due to it's age, you have one really nice bowl with lid.

    That green bowl with silver label is a true gem! Is it possible to have the complete ingredients list for the soap, please? And why don't they produce anymore a such stunning item?
