Two days ago I finished a Taylors of Old Bond Street Shaving Shop aftershave gel tube. A lot of the scent had gone leaving just a hint of the original smell and much more noticeable witch hazel.
I've used this one 43 times over the last 7 years.
It's been a constantly great performer, luxurious lather and a great subtle fern scent. I have always like B&M's soaps and this is no exception.
Would I buy it again? It's a tad expensive to buy in the UK but if I were in the US and came across a B&M then I would definitely pick another up.
Good point. Works out about 45c or 35p per shave, actually a lot more than I thought.For 43 uses, it doe work out quite expensive per shave. I'd be quite disappointed with that. I think I got 2 months use out of my B&M which wasn't great IMO
I still have an old Palmolive shave stick. I just use it when travelling these days. It's doesn't smell too bad either. Shame you can't get it anymore. I never got on with the creme, which you can still get.Would I buy it again (or other SV soap)? Well, probably not. I'm trying to reduce my soap collection and now feel like cheap soaps like Palmolive, Proraso etc are just as good. I would have bought more OSP soaps but think he stopped selling them.
How many shaves/days did it last? As I understand, it was your only soap?...Finished yet another puck of Tabac shaving soap.
This is the only soap that I've bought more than two of. Importantly, I have another puck to fill the Tabac void.
I have to say that this is my top performing soap. Say no more
I'm not exactly sure but I've used Tabac soap at least 154 times over the years and I think I've finished 3 pucks of it. So each puck must last me approx 50 shaves.How many shaves/days did it last? As I understand, it was your only soap?...
