Pop down to Boots ... you can physically check the ingredients.
The question I have to ask myself is are 2 1/2 pucks and 12 sticks enough in my arsenal or do I get a few more pucks of the tallow base whilst I can ?
Coconut oil prices keep increasing. Tallow is a by-product but it still is relatively expensive and is about same per Kg as coconut oil.Great insight there Brian, thanks.
Coconut Oil I can understand might be expensive, Tallow I thought was a cheap bye product from the meat industry, wouldn't have thought it would be an expensive ingredient.
I'd guess that a 100g stick might do 200-250 shaves. I use my own stick once or twice a week on average so it could be years before it's done.The question I have to ask myself is are 2 1/2 pucks and 12 sticks enough in my arsenal or do I get a few more pucks of the tallow base whilst I can ?
Good riddance to Tabac is what I say. Now if they do something really insane say like FUBAR the Speick stick I'll be in the vanguard of the army crossing the Rhine!!
It looks like the Factory that was making it was the same one that made the original Fine soaps and was closed down by the owners , so I guess unfortunately it broke !interesting. I recently received some from Amazon but have thrown the box. I did initially think the performance wasn't as good, but could be in my head. When I started my previous puck I grated it all up then pressed it back into the bowl. It seems like it lathers more easily that way but again could just be in my head.
What's that old saying about if it's not broke?
Well in that case, fix itIt looks like the Factory that was making it was the same one that made the original Fine soaps and was closed down by the owners , so I guess unfortunately it broke !
