The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Stainless Steel Soap works as advertised. The bar comes with minimal instructions, and the English instructions were covered with tape. Luckily the tape did not take off the instructions. I have used a different stainless steel bar before, so I had and idea on how they work. They are not like normal soap. When using this bar, here is my suggestions:

1. To get the smell off, the bar must come in contact with all skin that has the offending smell on it. Under the fingernails? No dice. they will smell. Even with missing the fingernails the smell is hugely diminished.

2. You must use the bar for a minimum of 40 seconds. A quick wipe will not do it. All skin must be scrubbed thoroughly, and the longer you scrub the  more effective it will be.

Compared to the soap shaped stainless steel bar I own, this one has curves. I was concerned about its functionality... until I used it. The curves make it easier to touch all the skin and remove the smell compared to my other one.

This product works well and I would recommend it.
