Thread: Looking to buy old school soap (p.160/tabac)

Hi,

I want to try those soap. I heard that those 2 soap are awesome. I look online and i did not find any store that sell p.160 soap. Did anyone know where i could find the p.160 and tabac soap ?

Thx alot

Tryphon Enterprises has a wide variety of shaving soaps, including the two that you want.

However, I have no idea if you will be able to get them there. I repeatedly emailed them last year trying to buy Cella soap from them but I never got a response. Maybe you will have better luck.

I've never heard of the P160 soap but now I really want to try it!

Tryphon is no longer operating. They were in West Palm and I have gone over to the owner's house and bought stuff a couple of years ago but unfortunately Giovanni (IIRC) is done with the business.

Thanks for letting me know. It's unfortunate that his website is still up, as it is kind of like a kid outside a candy story type of scenario--so much great stuff, but no way to get it. It's a shame he couldn't make a go of it since he had such a great variety of unique, or at least hard to get, soaps.

I really want to try the p.160 shaving soap. It is my ultimate goal to find that soap! I just can't put that away from my mind ...

Fine Shaving Products for a Smoother Closer Shave - Shaving.ie
They sell P160 if you are willing to pay to ship it that far.

The p.160 is unavailable there. I am still looking for that soap.

There's a place called superlather that sells p160
https://www.superlather.com/index.htm

For those who are looking for p.160, take a look at http://www.italianbarber.com It seems the rest of the links listed here are out of the product. His name is Joseph Abbatangelo, and for now has 3 sizes in stock, including the 1Kg package, and is based in Canada. I don't know how long it will last though. It is the Tipo Morbido, and his products are very reasonably priced. I found another one in Holland but with shipping to the States it doubles the price. But here is a link for those who live a little closer to her: P.160 Shaiving Cream Soap (Tipo Morbido) or main page: Welcome To Connaught Shaving She allows only one 1Kg. box per customer, so her supply must be limited, and it is full Retail Price. I am sure there are other stores that have some in stock, but that is all I know of.

Have fun, and enjoy shaving.

If you are interested in old school soap, but cant' get the p160, I'd like to recommend Mitchell's Wool Fat. Many swear by it (including myself).
