Finished my alum block.
I've had this for years as a post shave check for whether my shave was too close but since I've been getting good shaves over the last few years I've no had the need to use it for shaving.
So I've been using it as an under arm antiperspirant. No scent but stops armpit perspiration very well. It also doesn't irritate my skin like some of the stronger commercial deodorants can do. To use it by dipping it into the sink water between the 2nd and 3rd passes and rub underarm. This gives it plenty of time to dry before I finish shaving.
It became too small for the holder/applicator so I've been using it naked (the alum block not me) but now it's got too small (3 cm cubed) to manage and hold so it's time to start on a new one.

This is the replacement one below. Great size and a nifty twist-up applicator, available from Holland & Barrett. These things last for yonks.
It's a sad day when you finish a Professor Blighty's product.
One of the all-time greatest soaps!Alas my OSP Bay Rum is no more. I have a small stash of OSP soaps left and I live in hope that James makes some kind of return.
Completely agree, OSP for me is comfortably the best soap I've used. I'm nearly out of the penultimate tub of my favourite scent, Fougere. I‘m savouring each use.One of the all-time greatest soaps!
I hope that too.
Finished Palmolive, Lea, SuperMax and Arko last year and gave I Coloniali away so no more shaving creams. This year I am working on my soaps but so far like Sisyphos not making much of a difference.
