Thought I'd give this a try. No sign of it in my Lymington Store. Had a chat. Was able to pay my £1.05 and will pick it up next Saturday. So if you don't see it, don't give up.

Very similar to Arko and Palmolive just a different scent. The Boots soap is very good, just in my opinion a more manly sort of smell.

Out of curiosity how long did that take you, I have never done it, and did you just put all the shavings into the bottom of a mug or did you actually shape it into a disc?

I know this wasn't aimed at me but what I did was buy a little ramekin from Asda. Then I grated about a third of Palmolive stick onto a board and tipped it in. I then squashed it down to have sort of a layer of it, then added a third more, then pressed it down, then the final third. So I did it in stages, I have no idea if it would all stick together if I did it all in one go so decided doing it in stages was the best bet. It took maybe 10 minutes?
