Credit: I've taken this from a chap called old_school over on B&B.
Whilst I'm not personally fussed, it may be of interest to some folk that Speick stick is now moving to a Vegan formula.

palmolive was pulled two years ago ( falling sales ), how many soaps have been reformulated ,in those two years ? the folks now want ,enviromentaly friendly, ecolocgically sound , ethical , low impact , recyclable, cruelty free, insert latest sales tagline here , products . the tide has turned gents .
Palmolive sticks were pulled FROM THE UK!! Still being made & available other places.
for how mutch longer ? out of the three sticks palmolive is gone from the uk , seen any wilkinson sword sticks around lately ? last i heard £5 + a piece on t,bay, so how mutch longer do you really think palmolive will remain un changed , if around at all ? my point was tallow is no longer acceptable to the mass market, as the slew of reformulations show . if they haven,t reformulated they bring out a new product line cella bio for example . my bet is there is a great deal of palmolive in the supply chain in the EU, hell it took over a year nearly two for it to clear the chain in th UK . then i wouldn,t be surprised if its gone for good ........times & taste,s have changed ,simple as.Palmolive sticks were pulled FROM THE UK!! Still being made & available other places.
Someone on B&B is saying essentially that the factory that closed in Europe that was making Fine hard soaps was actually making Tabac tallow as well. Perhaps they were making Palmolive also? The pieces are falling into place it seems.
In a few (rare) instances of inebriation..... I recently ordered 12 Speick sticks. 5X more than I have used in my entire 50 year shaving life. I think I am OK.
You are probably correct. I used Speick exclusively on my recent holiday. Amazing soap. Probably boring for SOTD....but it ticks all of the boxes for a shaving SoapInspirational.
You need more shaving sticks though.
Just ordered another 5. Was gobsmacked by the performance while away. Not fancy .....but so goodYou need more shaving sticks though.
