To clarify:
I vomitted not due to the pleasant aroma of Tabac, but due to shame and disgust at being bested by a MWF sympathizer!
LOL
You have no idea how glad I am that no one was around me to hear my response to that

...Jim, please pass the tissues.....
Seems so.. IIRC the old pucks had a stamp similar to the logo design.Samouraï;1680179 said:is that a new puck stamp?
No, that was a bowl I already had.did that bowl come with the soap?
I wonder if the old soap smells different from the AS or cologne. I got some English Fern Type cologne from theshaveden and it doesn't smell like the soap. Wonder if Joanna was basing her scent off of the real cologne instead of off the soap

Finally got my English Fern Soap & Bowl.
The current bowls are branded with "Penhaligon London" only, the English Fern design type logo has been removed. The old bowl just looks better.
MWF has tallow in their name.
Veggie soap can be good too, one shouldn't assume solely on the ingredient list.
The change to the wooden bowl is a bit of a disappointment. I have one on order and really liked the upscale look of the bowls that matched the labeling of the cologne and aftershave. At least the quality of the soap hasn't been cheapened as well.
Maybe someone on B&B would be willing to part with their well kept but presently empty old style EF wooden bowl?
I recently saw pictures of the new bowl and puck beside the old bowl and puck.
Its clear that Penns was willing to sacrifice its shaving soap line for the sake of maintaining its royal warrant.
