NSC stands for Nordic Shaving Company, they're based in Finland but ship world wide. They have a solid selection of shaving supplies. They also have a brick-and-mortar store. Vintage Shave, which is also Finland-based, has a larger selection of soaps and razors and I think they also ship world wide. They sell out of their warehouse. I recently ordered another 100 pack of Lord Platinums and a tub of Rasozero Rinfrescante from them, I want to see how it compares to Proraso (Rasozero is Italian, as well).
Enjoy your weekend ladies and gents!
EDIT: Even though the Coffee scent has been discontinued, they've got some smaller tubs in stock still. They used to use a non-vegan base for all their soaps, but then they went all out on vegan soaps and got rid of the coffee scent in the process. TBH, it doesn't smell much like coffee, but rather like milk chocolate (and a whiff of cardboard). The coffee base contains shea butter and lanolin.
I have that coffee soap. Such a funny base: sorry soft dark brown croap mixed with harder little soap spheres.
Enjoyable enough
I have it in the 4.9 oz tub so I should get many shaves out of it. When they went vegan they also shrunk the tubs to 4 oz and ditched the coffee scent. Enjoy it while you've got it, I know I will.
