I like the coconut. An easy way to address the small puck issue is to grate it into an empty tub (I used Trumpers coconut cream tub). 2 pucks fill the tub about half way. It's then very easy to get a good lather. The soap gives a nice slick lather with dense fine bubbles. The scent is fine - mild soapy, not extraordinary but certainly not in any way unpleasant.

Added a puck of Haslinger Sandalwood to a recent order. Definitely a small diameter. I'm planning on using it in an empty Cella container.
