    I do not completely agree on this. The most near substitute for P.160 is, in my opinion, Cella. Razorock classic is a good soap, of course, but P.160 was a truly different story.

    These are the INCIs of both soap for you to compare:

    Razorock Classic Shave Soap

    Stearic Acid, Tallow, Water, Cocos Nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance (Sweet Almond), Potassium Carbonate

    P.160 tipo morbido (soft type)

    Aqua, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Tallow, Cocos Nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Parfum, Potassium Carbonate, Benzyl Alcohol, Tetrasodium EDTA


    P.160 is an incredibly good shaving cream, in my opinion, the very best I have ever tried in my life. I still have a tiny chunk of it which I am scrupulously trying to keep as long as I can.
    As for the listing on eBay, I guess this is however crazy. The current bid of USD 83,88 is truly crazy. Okay, this soap is not in production anymore, they stopped production around 6-7 years ago and, as P.160 is a tallow based soap, a substance which can easily go rancid in case it is not properly kept, who knows how this soap has been kept so far and in what conditions it is now?
    You can get a very good shaving soap, but I doubt this soap has been kept in a fridge in order to prevent tallow oxidation. You can tell this by the color: fresh P.160 was white in color and when it started to go rancid - that is, tallow going rancid - it got a yellowish color, like rancid lard. And also the smell changed quite a lot, having very evident nuances of rancid lard.

    I am however curious to see at what price it is going to be sold this 780 grams of P.160!

    Why wait for the auction when you can buy some right here.
