What's that soap Oomer?
It's from Marco an Italian artisan soap maker and its called panna crema namaste. It's a great soap though, Italianbarber sell the whole range in this style tub but their shipping takes it to over £23 a tub. Marco's other soaps are really expensive I'm talking £75 to the uk a tub.
Cheers Greybeard.

Pot of the day...
For my second shave with the slant I've gone for Haslinger Aloe Vera soap...

The shave: Hot shower + Proraso Red pre-shave cream / Haslinger Aloe Vera / The Duke / Merkur 37C Slant + Nacet(2) / Wright's Coal tar soap wash, followed by cold rinse and Thayers / Tuff Herb AS splash, followed by Myrsol Emulsion.

Another nice shave with the slant and I'm pleasantly surprised by the Tuff Herb AS. I've also started using Myrsol Emulsion as a post-shave balm rather than exclusively as a pre-shave, and that's rather good too.

BTW...I bought 3 of the Tuff flavours: the Heb and the one called Fresh (I think) are pretty good, but they do one which is labelled as 'sensitive' and is scent-free...it might as well be vodka...that's exactly how it smells!:eek::confused:...my advice: avoid that one (or at least don't put it on before you drive!)

Happy shaving all;):)
