    Default Awesome but impractical (Boellis Panama)

    Just got my new soap, Boellis Panama. It was stuck at norwegian custom office for 2 months because the vendor (Brummelsoflondon.com) did not submit the correct price in the documents.

    Highly recommended but the shape and packaging is not recommended. What's wrong with a bowl?
    Can almost compete with MdC.

    Yes, it is a great soap, but the shape of the puck is not very practical

    The good thing though, is that it is rather soft, so it is very easy to push it into shape in your container of choice.
    I used a shave mug from SRD, and that worked out perfectly.

    Out of curiosity, I checked the internet to see the price, and guess what? It's out of stock everywhere....

    I spent some time looking for it and brummellsoflondon.com don't have it in stock anymore. A few european vendors still have though:

    I picked some up a while back and yes it's great stuff right up there with the best of them. Mine is unscented. It's like buying cella you just cut off what you want.

    Is the scent that much different from Cella? I like the blue box! Another to put on the list...... Double O
