The first problem was cutting this giant bar down to manageable chunks for using. When I tried to cut it up, it splintered. Eventually managed to get 2 or 3 bar-of-soap-size pieces after heating up a sharp knife. Sadly it wasn't really worth the effort as the soap doesn't smell nice, doesn't lather up (I know eco-soaps don't lather as much, but this didn't at all), didn't clean well, and we ended up throwing the rest away.

I bought this after seeing someone using it on Shop Well for the Planet. It can be used as a personal soap and also I use it for washing up, you only need a tiny bit. It as an excellent degreaser and the only problem is that the normal microfibre cloths I was using just soak up the oil and go a bit solid so you need to use an alternative type or wash cloths out with soda crystals. I found microwaving the large bar for a minute allowed it to be sliced into more convenient slabs. I do not find it less drying than regular soap on the skin though, which I was hoping for from seeing other reviews for olive oil soap.

Maybe not the easiest thing to cut, but got a clean 1” slice with a sharp kitchen knife, after microwaving the block for 40 mins. Economical way to get small bars for the bathroom and for travel. rnSmells nice, and leaves hands soft and clean.

Large bar good value, nice texture and pleasant to use. however complete waste of time trying to cut it, it just falls to pieces so most of it gets wasted. Have tried with a hot knife no difference. The soap is too dry & crumbly, wont buy again will stick to normal sizes as waste of time & money, cant use bits of soap

Very good product which I have used for a few years. Bit fiddly to cut the big blocks but ok once you get the knack!

I really wanted to love this product.I followed instructions to heat soap before cutting into smaller pieces. It still crumbled and was hard after 20 seconds in microwave. Ended up heating for 2 mins, the soap was just soft enough to cut into nice sized slices. However I just can't get used to the smell of it. It is strong and leaves scent on skin. Not sure if the time in the microwave has amplified this or changed smell in some way, but it's really not a nice smell.The bar is too big to use as it is so needs to be cut so not sure how to get around this. Great value if you can enjoy the smell.

Very nice, fresh, basic, unperfumed, palm-oil-free soap at a very good price. I grate it and use it for washing clothes and I grate it and mix it with warm water and essential oils to make liquid hand soap.

I tried to cut this bar up into useable slices, but it crumbles very easily When I cut across it. It will slice if cut along the length. I have had to grate the pieces and reform into smaller bars, so have not used it yet!
No added perfume - only smells of olives, so I am hopeful it will be great. If so, it will be really good value.

It's a good natural soap that doesn't dry out my skin.

Very large bar that can be cut into smaller bits for everyday use. It wold be more convenient to sell smaller sizes though!
Doesn't dry out the skin like conventional harsh soaps.
