Best cream I've ever owned, I'm a long term fan and currently halfway through my third tub. Luxurious lather with nil effort and possibly the nicest smelling soap there is.
^^ @ Ajc: The hard soap requires harder work, as you'd probably expect. It takes a pre soak, a long loading (up to a minute) and a bit of the old know how to get it performing but it shouldn't be a challenge to anyone with experience of properly hard soaps. I've had 2 T+H luxury hard soaps (original) and one 1805 and they perform the same, the smell of both is divine and I love them. When I have the time to lather properly that is.
I expect the criticism on some forums comes from people used to softer soap pucks, it does dry to near marble hardness.
