NOOOOOOOOOOO! Not my favourite shave stick

I feel a shopping spree coming on.

The best value item for wet shaving in the UK?

50p for a stick in Tesco. If only they stocked Arko (!)

better hurry - just bought ten in our local Tesco... also they do little glass bowls you can mill a stick into for £1

Just to add to the mystery, I've posted a new thread on the Palmolive sticks, here.

So, is there a cause for panic? I dunno...but hoarding is always a good thing, n'est-ce pas?

Cheers,
Jimmy.

I know I'm bringing this thread back after a year and a half. But, I just got into Palmolive products and purchased a couple of shave sticks recently. Mine were the ones with potassium hydrogenated tallowate as the first ingrediant so it doesn't look like it was phased out as people were predicting.

haven't tried either of these , but the australian stick is a great latherer and has that "palmolive" scent that is so classic

The EU-palmolive gives a better lather and gives it more easily. For scent I prefer the AUS-version.

Does the AUS stick maybe smell like the stronger, European "Classic" Palmolive cream? The Euro "Sensitive" cream smells just like the Euro stick, to me.

I picked a few up in a corner London chemist a few weeks back, I think it's all good. The Aussie one works, and is still great value, but the Euro version beats it for cushion.

The EU-classic cream scent is sort of in between the EU-stick and the AUS-stick. The AUS-cream smells exactly like the AUS-stick.

I could not have said it better myself, if they were to make the Gut 2.2 euro version with the Aussie scent, I would buy a further twelve sticks.
