$16 for one 4oz container of soap doesn't seem that inexpensive. I know a few others that are less expensive.
Regarding the ingredients, I believe Paolo is using some good quality components.

Compared to WK, DG, GD, T&S, B&M, etc. It is significantly lower priced..
I talked to Paolo at maggards and he is very happy with his rebranding. I bought the Sicilian lemon and the olive, musk citrus. Those scents are amazing and they preform extremely well. I had a nice slick shiny lather and his aftershave splash was a great finish to the shave. Post shave feel was great and skin was soft after the fact. For those who like simple scents the Sicilian lemon is amazing

I completely agree with you, but compared to Stirling, Mike's (bars), Mystic Water (refill pucks), or Shannon's, it isn't.
Nonetheless, we are extremely fortunate to have such a variety of great soaps to choose from, nowadays, and I believe Paolo's new tallow soaps will be another excellent addition and I am hoping to try them, very soon, even though I don't need any more soap.

How’s the performance of it stack up against brands like WhollyKaw, Grooming Department, etc?

Who said it was a bad thing? If I can get WK, DG, GD, T&S, B&M, etc. quality at a significantly lower price I’m in.

I only have the Agrume one, but I really like it a lot. I think it could do with a little menthol, but I can add it myself.
