Finnish Tar Soap

I like this soap a lot. Would love if it came in a larger bar but othewr than that, I'll be picking it up again.

Although the bars are smaller than some other tar soaps, they are also cheaper. But I also like the small size, it’s more manageable in some ways and easier to take in a dop kit when traveling. Leaves a subtle but pleasant scent, and you feel utterly clean but not dry afterward. Essential whether or not you have a sauna.

Is "0" stars an option? This soap smells very strong of bonfire smoke (you know, the kind that you'd need to take a shower after, just this soap leaves you smelling that way!). My wife says that it smells more like Beggin Strips (the bacon flavored dog treats). It took numerous washing (3-5 x's) with other soap and Dawn to get the smell off my skin. I think I was looking for a clean pine scent. This is not that...

This soap bar is tiny but its smell is MIGHTY ;-)
I'm sure FinnStyle is aware of how strong is the smell of this soap, but it didn't bother to put it into odor-proof packaging so that the rest of the stuff I purchased wouldn't saturate the strong tar odor. I should mention though, they included a cardboard note assuring me that "FinnStyle cares about the environment" and therefore my "order has been carefully packed with biodegradable cornstarch packing peanuts or recycled foam packing peanuts". I also received a separate email with the same statement. This made me chuckle because none of that was true and my whole order was just cramped up in a standard FEDEX envelope. Thank God the Hazelnut chocolate I was going to order was sold out - it would've been pretty sad to get my fave chocolate smelling like fresh asphalt ;-)
Buyer Beware!

My husband received this soap as a Christmas gift from our daughter. He loves it! It reminds him of soap he used at his grandma’s sauna while he was growing up.
