I have. If I have the old formula everyone raves about I'll chalk it up to operator error. But I think it is more likely I have the new formula that nobody seems to be raving about.
Is this the new Czech and Speake? It won’t lather. Lovely shower soap though. http://shavenook.com/showthread.php?tid=63094 The old Valobra soaps lathered fine, though the 88 was allegedly a little more difficult than O&C.
Old 88 on the right, new 88 on the left. These are the ‘leftovers’ after a shave, not a full bowl of freshly made lather. Left side look familiar?
