Vintage soap ?

So someone sent me this a few years ago and I was wondering if anyone might know the brand and if it was any good

Never heard of it but my google-fu kicked in. Looking at the image, the aged label says Lentheric. Searching Google it comes up with some vintage shave products, including aftershave powder.

Also found a link to an old sale for the bowl you have, confirming the brand name:



Finally, here's a link to the Wikipedia entry for Lebtheric brand... Old stuff (1800- early 1900s?).


Guessing you found most of this yourself, but just in case... [emoji2369]

Thanks Paul 😊
 
Like @mrdoug I googled myself into curiosity. Old vintage sometimes a wood bowl sometimes Bakelite and a good scent in its day in soap, talc and cologne. Cool piece. Let us know how it shaves :cool:
Well I gave it a run today 🙂
Not much of the scent left but it sure does lather up great. I scraped off some from the bottom of the puck and put it in my Timeless bowl.
I treated it like SV with a little bloom
and didn't not add any additional water .
Working it on the face it produced a very nice silky lather with nice slickness and cushion .00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20200608070927502.jpg
