Well, it´s actually a very, very good hard soap. When I used it today I was thinking: "should I really get rid of this one?". But the answear is "yes", since I think the ones I´m gonna keep is better, but this one could slip by and find a place in the shaving cabinet (that my wife keeps on calling the bath room cabinet ;-)). But back to the question: try this: https://www.fragrancex.com they ship world wide for free and have good prices, BUT it takes forever, at least for me (4-8 weeks).

But Ralfy, I could send you a puck, since I got almost a full one in a dish + a new refill. PM me, you´ll have it for free. I must make room for Nannys soaps .

Thanks for the kind offer however I meant "how do you like the tabac?" hahaha

Although I do have a good friend that would be very grateful of a puck, I could pm you his details if thats cool?

I have it and its a keeper for sure, never totally sure on the scent but the lather it makes is IMHO outstanding

Ohhps, sorry. Yeah, that´s cool, PM me, but since it´s not you he´ll have to pay shipping (if not a member here), it´s like 4.3 gbp I think (slightly less than what they cost, I guess). Sorry for this. Thank you all for really nice pics!
