Hi All, I'm looking for some help with IDing and sourcing a shave stick that I'm about to run out of. I seem to remember that I bought it at either shoebox or bullgoose, but neither have it on their site anymore. In any case, it came from one of the smaller vendors. My purchase was a couple years ago, at least. What I can tell you: it (they) came in a 2-pack vintage-style box that was paper bag brown and orange. The soap, I believe, is French and has a light grapefruit scent. I remember it being advertised as being particularly suitable for straight razor shaving, although I never used it for such. In any case, it's a great performer and I'd really like to get some more. Can anyone help me with a name and place to buy? Thanks in advance!
I don't remember seeing a stick, but could it be OSMA shave soap? Just give up and get some arko. Ill send you a case.
Thanks for the suggestion but no definitely not osma. I'm already an arko fan and have several sticks myself.
Sadly, no. But thank you for the referral. I must now wash my eyes out and perform penance after looking at that other site. I wouldn't be surprised though if the one I'm looking for has been discontinued.
Okay update. This is the winner! I found an old picture of old packaging on another site as savoniere bon berger. The Mandarin and Cedar is the one that I have. So mile grazie! @Enrico Now I've just got to figure out where to buy some.
Gentscare.be reports : Opgelet !!! Gestopt met productie!! Op is op (Attention! No longer produced. Over is over.)
Hi, Someone on the English forums knows of a Belgian source that still has some, but IDK if they have the stick - but if you have the tub you can make the stick... If you want, I’ll try to run it down for you.
Thanks, Steve, I really appreciate it! I can read Dutch so if you know the website you can just send it to me. But if it's gentscare.be, they don't have the scent that I'm looking for. My French is non-existent.
