Viking Shaving Soap Company is not a good company. I only have it because it was included in a lot, and I like the scent enough to not throw it away. I had another scent by them (Denmark) which I did throw in the garbage.

I don't know if Viking is still around (different than the Viking you'd find on Amazon, by the way), but he used to make brush handles too. And guess what... he was on the bad list for copying other companies like Declaration Grooming.

Anyway, decent shave. The lather isn't anything to write home about, but it was slick. This blade is awesome.
