These pucks seem to last forever. Very concentrated, and excellent performers. They take a lot of water, so don't be shy with the old H2O.

Couldn't resist picking this little lot up for under £12 at HomeSense.
Do I NEED any of it?............. of course not!

might be good for the guys who use cartridges. I only use them when traveling so wasn't going to sign up to a monthly subscription service but if you ignore the sign up emails, they keep reducing the price till its £1 delivered. for that price, even if used once, how bad could it be? it included a mini tube of cream and balm too. the handle is made of cork to be biodegradable but the head is still plastic.

Ding dong - Avon calling.
From left to right, Blend 7, Tai Winds, Leather, Windjammer, Wild Country, Spicy, and Spicy. All full.
They all smell good - Spicy is very close to vintage Shulton Old Spice. Tai Winds has a Faberge Brut vibe; Wild Country is unashamedly pure '70s macho (as it should be!), Windjammer a bit of a mixed bag, Leather very nice authentic car seat leather, and Blend 7 a nicely blended cologne-style.
Very happy with these.

I bought another puck of BeeClean Peppermint shaving soap which I've been really enjoying this week as there's not much more than a smear of a ring left in my bowl. Yeah, not the best soap but once you click with the technique the lather is a delight ... and the peppermint is beautiful. I'm glad to have replenished it.

I spotted this plastic tub Old Spice on eBay and thought it a nice addition to my stock - I already have a nice vintage milk mug with most of a soap tablet still available, so this can either be a refill or used in the plastic.

A beautifully preserved Dubarry Silkasoap shaving soap dish. Now - to find an appropriate soap to fill it?
Suggestions welcome.
Go on, then ... Mitchell's! Get the latest formulation - it's ace!
I would absolutely love to try the original Silkashave soap. I have seen one of the bakelite pots with a full puck but they wanted really silly money for it. If I could even land on a well used one, but reckon anyone finding a manky mostly used soap in a vintage dish would likely scrape it out and sell the pot as a clean and distinct item.
Really nice catch, that ... again, get it full of Mitchell's!
I think I may have one. Cool find.I spotted this plastic tub Old Spice on eBay and thought it a nice addition to my stock - I already have a nice vintage milk mug with most of a soap tablet still available, so this can either be a refill or used in the plastic.
