The one that was being discussed here : https://paste-and-cut.com.au/community/threads/oumo-aliexpress-soap-range.7202/
Picture from the original aliexpress listing. Comes in a plastic red tub similar to the one that Proraso red uses, it's too small to use properly so you will want to transfer it to a shaving bowl for regular use.
The scent is a subtle woody aroma...it's pretty nice, not overpowering and doesn't have the strong artificial smell that some cheap soaps have. It might be too subtle actually, when I was shaving, I couldn't really notice it. But the package I received had an expiry date in mid 2023 so it might have faded over time, try asking the seller for a longer expiry date if you want to try and get a stronger scent.
In terms of performance, it's great...doesn't take a lot of water to make a good lather and the shave was smooth. Best of all, i had no issues with dry or burning skin afterwards. For the price, it completely blows the competition out of the water...it was being sold for USD $9 last year but has gone up to $10 this year, and that's the price of a normal tub of Proraso red. I would say the quality is on par with Stirling soaps at the very least, but it's been a long time since I could get hold of Stirling soaps and I can't do a comparison here. It's definately better than Proraso red at the same price, and Aliexpress does free worldwide shipping so you won't get hit with the usual expensive shipping fees that most online retailers charge to ship to Australia.
I think that I will make this my standard soap from now on. Give it a try if you are interested.
