When I first opened the new stick (red circle) the scent reminded me of the Wilkinson soap bowl. However its milder & a better scent than the Wilkinson. I would agree its a marine cologne scent. Reminds me of 4711 ICE also.
I really like the old formula, I will put 10 or 20... aside for my own use.
The "original" 2017 formula is now Palm & Palm Kernel based, which is the normal replacement for a Coconut/Tallow formula. Still has added glycerine & Lanolin.

Greetings
Thank's Paul for clearing that one up, another tallow soap gone then. I suspect within a very few years we will see the end of all the mainstream suppliers making tallow based soaps leaving just the artisans/small batch manufacturers.
I personally am not adverse to using veggie soaps but I will mourn the day when/if Tabac and Speick go down the veggie route.

Dick.

I received mine yesterday and shaved with it last night. As Sezer said it now has a light aquatic scent that fades greatly when lathered. The lather itself is ok, it's not quite dense or creamy and doesn't have enough of the hallmarks of a good tallow soap for my liking, hence I am passing on it. I am happy to Pif this. If anyone would like try the new formulation let me know and I'll pass it on. UK only please chaps, first come, first served.

Has anyone bought a Lea Shaving Stick recently?
It's been reformulated once again.
Pictures of the new ingredients can be found below, looks like Stearic Acid and Coconut Oil are the main ingredients now.

I tried it yesterday (the one without tallow). It is very good. Quite similar results to the Palmolive. Good long lasting BBS with a bit of irritation. I have never been a stick guy though.
