I'll include some Denim Gold when I send you the Akcay Tobacco. I'll include my stocks of Treet Yellow Durasharp at the same time (I don't get on with them.)

Wow! Thank you so much! So generous last time with the bottle of Akcay and the surprise of that Omega brush which I enjoy a lot ... and here you are doing it again! What a really nice thing to do, Shubs. Thank you. Very chuffed about the yellows and looking forward to trying the Denim flanker.

... the latest formulation (as opposed to last year's in?famous reformulation) :
Sodium Palmate, Sodium Stearate, Potassium Stearate, Aqua (Water), Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Laurate, Potassium Laurate, Glycerin, Palm Kernal Acid, Parfum (Fragrance), Potassium Palm Kernelate, Titanium Dioxide, Lanolin, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Gluconate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Linalool
Notice also the redesign of the top of the box?
Gone is the "Original 1893 Formula" and on the side it says, "a fine soap made to a traditional formula exclusive to". I wonder when the new batch of ceramic pots will come out with this revision.
Woo! Excited to try the very latest.

My one from Connaught also arrived today and after a quick hand lather it’s looking good,thick creamy slick lather but the real test will be shaving with it.

So it does!
I was thinking of cutting it out and sticking it, but there was already a solution waiting to be found. Good work!
... and ingredients rondel from the greaseproof wrap on the inside cover. Neat!
This makes me very happy! Thank you.

Super! Do you have experience of the first reformulation (circa 2023) from tallow to palm?

No,the one I have is tallow from about 12 years ago.

No worries. I do. I'd just like to hear more from folks who have experience of the tallow, the first and the second reformulations.

First, a very unexpected gift from a very generous friend here who "just wanted to send me something" and I am bowled over! Thank you so much for this - what a super community we belong to here.
Also arrived was my BST purchase of a bottle of DRH Sandalwood aftershave from @Mr. Blonde who also popped in a little extra for me - a stick of the latest formulation Speick, which will complement the vintage tallow stick that I already have. Super-exciting for a formulations nerd! Again, what a super community we have here.
... and my 100x RACER Platinum blades arrived from La Barbiera. What a deal!
I'm absolutely beaming. Thank you guys!

My blades arrived too.
Think I'll try the rainbow first as I've tried one before (one or two maximum) and want to see how tonight's shave will compare.
Also got the new-to-me Race Platinum to look forward to (only tried the stainless)

Received two Highlander brushes today from gile, I'm so happy with how they turned out, absolutely beautiful brushes. My pics don't really do them justice tbh, but I'm sure gile will be along at some point to put pictures on his thread.

Big day all around for the forum today as I received my GFT Cologne and a very nice added extra.
Brilliant and thank you @Mr. Blonde for the excellent speedy service.
Wasn't aware of that. Well spotted J.
Reused an empty tin so now it has a label!
