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!

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.
