Thread: Palmolive PIF

I just picked up 3 sticks today and tried it out. Smells like lemon cif to me YMMV. It does perform quite well. Can't really complain at £0.49 per stick.

Is great stuff,read it may be discontuned,just got 12 sticks from the U.K,Love that stuff.

Apparently it will only be discontinued in the U.K. now, but who knows what the future may hold. I received mine from Amazon a few weeks ago. I have used it a few times and am very pleased with it even at the price I paid. I reapplied it to my face between passes and by the fourth pass I had more lather in my brush than I knew what to do with. I ordered a stick of this with my first "shaving stuff" order, but it was out of stock. Almost one year later I have finally tried it. Slick, nice cushion and felt great on my face. I like the idea of milling it into a puck.

This thread got me so interested I ordered 2 sticks and got them from the UK. Good stuff which lathers well, at least for a "luke-cool" water (my winter mode) face lathering soap. I love the scent because it reminds me of my youth long ago, when we used the bath soap.

Yes, works great as a puck. Been doing that for a few shaves now.

After all the good reviews here and seeing it in the supermarket gave it a shot. Liked smell and lathered fine but was not good for my sensitive skin. Pity. At the price would be a bargain.

Do you use cif in US? Anyone else think it smells nearly the same as lemon cif? Formerly known as jif.

We get Vim in Canada Home care brands | Unilever which i suppose is the same thing. No I do not think it smells like Vim to me. Arko might be closer to the lemony smell of Vim.

I did get the feeling though that if I grated the stick up in to a bowl and then made an Uber Lather with it that I would be quite surprised.

Overall... and a thanks to Beluga once more!

Just thought I would update my post from January. I tried grating the Palmolive stick in to a mug to make it easier to bowl lather and I must say I was extremely surprised. I Uber lathered it with a few drops of glycerine and the lather was very very full and creamy, and I really loved the scent. It was simply "Uber Good"!!! It is now in my rotation permanently. I really loved it...so much so that I just ordered 3 more sticks from Europe, which should last me a lifetime.

Thanks again Beluga for turning me on to this great soap!
