It's also interesting to note that T&H have released two new hard soaps in the last year or so:
T&H Mayfair
T&H Highgrove
Taylor of Old Bond Street
... for Sandalwood (Cake): < taken from photo on Amazon TOBS Store
Potassium Palmate, Sodium Palmate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Parfum/Fragrance, Palm Kernel Fatty Acid, Sodium Chloride, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Linalool, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limolene, Cinnamal, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Butylphenol Methylpropional, Citral, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)
... the same as TOBS Traditional from Sharpologist's ingredient list and Vulfix (circa 2011) confirming in my mind that Sharpologist was referring to a much older formulation in his 2021 post! Like a ten year old plus formulation.
I've just checked my TOBS sandalwood box. Purchased around 2017, matching ingredients to the above quoted post.Yeah, I've looked for pictures of TOBS boxes and found just that on Amazon but without a date, it's a tough one to verify. You've provided the authenticity I needed for that soap. The Traditional might well have a different ingredient set from scant information I've found. The ingredient list here for the Sandalwood appears closer to the LEA 2017 Reformulation than any of its British siblings. As you can see from the table, Arran used a very similar formulation when they used to be called Arran Aromatics (rather than Arran Sense of Scotland as they are now) and also Edwin Jagger.
TOBS are a bit awkward, but I don't mind ... things that don't fit are often what leads us to look at the whole thing again from a different angle.

I remember it started well, but after a break of using it, it was really difficult to get a decent lather. MWF (old tallow) is much easier than I remember my TOBS puck being.
My info probably wont help in the slightest.
Yeah, I recall visiting the York outlet not long after I came to traditional shaving ... but in those days the idea of £30 plus for a soap sounded ridiculously extravagant to me. Little did I know ...I believe Penhaligon's used to made by the Floris subsidiary Broad Oak Toiletries then moved to Soapworks before Broad Oak was closed. At the time ebay was flooded with Penhaligon shaving soaps sold by sellers based in Scotland.
I have quite a few Penhaligon shaving soaps in storage. They were either bought from the aforementioned ebay sellers or the Outlet store in York.
