I have a few Arko sticks on order. Hopefully they'll continue with their current recipe for some time, but doesn't hurt to pick a few up just in case.
Greetings everyone, newbie here, this is my first post! Tabac has been my grail for quite some time, so much so that I didn’t know it had been reformulated until I received a new order of 3 pucks and 2 sticks. Cautiously optimistic, I shaved with one of the sticks and sure enough, it lit my face up :-(
I’m gutted as it took a lot of trial and error to find a soap that didn’t irritate my skin, now I have to start all over again. I also have some Mitchell’s Wool Fat and while I can use it, it also irritates my face a bit. I just placed an order from Connaught for a puck of Cyril S Salter soap, I’m hoping this one will work for me…
Bummed in NE Ohio,

A shame to hear the new one irritates your skin, I react to a lot of soaps as well. Have you tried the unscented Stirling soaps by chance?
Just taken delivery of a small stockpile to prepare for Tallowcalypse
A few months ago I visited a locally owned Pharmacy. They had stock so I cleared the lot!I used the now extinct, tallow-based Wilkie Stick today. Absolutely fabulous. Tallow, glycerin & lanolin - provided you get the rest of the recipe right, this holy trinity provides sheer shaving joy.
I’ve got 4 or 5 but if I ever found more at affordable prices, I’d be fighting folk off with me walking stick. “Get back, get back I say! Foul beasts of demonic intentions. Yon Wilkie sticks are mine, all mine and you SHALL NOT PASS!!!”
Aye, they’re no three bad.
One thing I've never understood about MWF is the "original formula from 1888", yet they have at least one ingredient in there that wasn't invented until the 1920's. I wonder how they get away with that?

Nah! We were using that ingredient in Yorkshire a century before someone else "invented" it.
