I picked up a stick of Palmolive while in the UK last month. I really enjoyed the performance and even got into the scent. For the price it's outstanding. I'm going to keep it in my travel bag without hesitation.
Believe me I tried, the Palmolive stick is OK, but I get much better results with Arko for instance or the Erasmic puck, even the cheap French Monsavon (around 1,5 €)
Peut-être, il est l'homme de charger le fusil.
Is it a direct translation from English? I appreciate your effort, but it doesn't really make sense...
I understand more or less something like this: "Perhaps, it's the man to load the rifle"
You mean "it's because of the way the man load his rifle" or "he has to change his way"?
Now if I could just get my hands on some of that French shave soap that sells so cheaply in pharmacies there and comes in a bowl. I forget the name.
Do you mean Savon du midi Santal? I may be in France next week. If that's what you are looking for, let me know. I'll keep an eye out and pick up a spare as I am hoping to get hold of some.
Ah, I think that was actually the one I had read about. I got confused googling for "French shaving soap". Anyway, I'll be getting a couple extra if I find it.
EDIT - It's ridiculously expensive outside of France cf in France.
I also find Palmolive a great shave soap. Now that there are moves to lift the 20 year ban on British beef in the US as the risk from bovine spongiform encephalopathy has receded - and therefore I assume the risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease - hopefully Palmolive shave sticks can be sold in the US at a more reasonable cost. I wonder if a lifting of the ban would allow for the re-formulation of some of the English soaps to their original tallow formulation.

Nil deperandum! It's not too late; you haven't lost the chance of contracting CJD you can still shop via e-bay and get some of Blue's Soap from China, that might do the trick!

It is one of those old mysterious shave soaps that few have tried outside of France, but has attained an almost "Arkolike" status. One day I'd really like to try it.
Well ... YMMV ... might be your ARKO killer instead.So much for that plan.
