Serbian tallow soap

It’s an almond scent similar to Cella or Vito’s
I have tried the Palmira cream as well and I enjoy it very much. I’ve been tempted to try the Dendi but haven’t ordered it yet. Is it worth getting?I had Palmira shaving cream.

I received Dendi soap as a gift. This soap is of good quality and has a pleasant aroma. But I don't see the point in buying this if it's going to be very expensive shipping.
Looks like I can get it shipped to the US with either $1 shipping or free shipping. But the one vendor that I’m seeing has it for about $22 which seems pretty high for a 70g container

I can't tell you base notes, high notes, low notes, mid notes, treble cleff...
I remember it was mild with a bit of tallow smell.
I sliced mine up and filled the bottom of an Old Spice mug.
So I pressed that little cube into a spare container I kept hanging around and it was easy to do since the soap is quite soft. Went to lather it with one of my favorite synthetic brushes and got squat. A thin/bubbly lather that quickly disappeared. A lot like modern Williams.
I've tried more and less water. Hot and not so hot water and so on. Any hints/clues as to what I'm not doing right

Like I said earlier in this thread, it's really not a great soap when compared to the classics.
I paid a lot, waited a long time, and didn't get much satisfaction.
Yes, disappointing for sure. Was hoping a tallow based soap would work better. Guess we live and learn
Interesting about the Palmira soap in the jar, never seen it.
If it didn't have soap written on it I would think it was a beard or mustache wax.
Really nice razor.

Try it with your very hottest water. It needs very hot water to work properly, at least in my experience. Night/day type difference.
