The email was not too clear as to whether the products where discontinued in UK only or Europe or World wide, but UK is for sure.

I paid $45 USD shipped for ten sticks, But like P160,when itis gone, it is gone

Wonder if the run on product is already on? I checked the Italianbarber this morning and it was $2.99 USD on sale and now it is sold out. I would imagine that it is a worldwide discontinuation not just the UK. Yup when stalks are gone they likely are gone. Will just have to wait and see.

I have enough Palmolive,Tabac, P160 and cella to last the rest of my life,be prepared for the great shaving soap shortage.

You know traditional mass produced shaving soaps/creams almost seem to be going the way film has. There is just not enough volume in sales to keep plants economically going geared to producing for a much larger market. There is still a niche market and it is being served by more and more artisan products.

That is sad news! I wasn't such a fan myself, but it's a solid product!
I know that at the moment, in Belgium, there's still enough in the stores.

Too bad, I thought this shaving business is expanding.

The vast majority of shavers use some kind of canned goo today or even brushless creams. If they did not I am almost sure some traditional mass produced soap/creams would have not been discontinued. Just not growing fast enough I guess.

Too bad ... The stick is one of the best!

Just ordered 8 sticks ... might last the rest of my life!

That sucks, it's the only reasonable stuff I can buy locally.
