Revisiting this thread makes me wanna use my Dr Selby tomorrow
Anybody know who has stock ? Gifts and care no longer seems to have any.
First visit to this thread and love the bowl and description of the scent.

After all the comments I have to try this. It's just hard for me to get past the radioactive green color. Although I know the video shows it doesn't stay that way but it's still in there. Kind of why I don't use Trumpers. Why the colors?
You guys convinced me to try it. Ordering today.
Looking forward to trying it as well - the bowl is what really grabbed me and then it was a short jump to the fact that I am on the hunt for a summer soap, haven't found a keeper in that department yet.
P.S. I do realize it is the middle of winter in the souther hemisphere but one needs to prepare early if you are a shaving addict
Thanks to Craig I am now the proud owner of some Dr Selby,
As described earlier in the thread the scent is nothing like what I would expect lavender to be. Smells like green soap, can pick the green cardamom and egreen some lime milkshake but that may just be the color fooling my brain - all in all a mild green soap cardamom scent is the best description. Would recommend it, from a scent perspective, to those who like Speick or want a milder Irisch Moos scent. Not as cologne smelling as say Arlington. Quite an innocuous scent that disappears quite quickly so doesn't mess with your AS or cologne.
I absolutely love the bowl - which was the main reason for originally trying to get hold of some.
Performance is great, for me it is on par with Speick and Irisch Moos i.t.o. quality of lather and how it leaves my skin. Really easy to make a nice thick creamy lather.
Will keep going for a few days but strongly suspect I will soon be posting to find out how I can get some more....
At the moment it is between Selby and Speick for my main summer soap - Windsor is soon to arrive to see how that compares. (Rest of my favorites are heavier Tabac, Marrakech, Proraso Red)

The performance of this soap continues to impress me - super easy to lather and incredibly slick. Still haven't decided between it and Speick - both are soapy type smells and I can't separate the performance. Might have to give it Selby as it has the nice container - but where to get hold of it ? Have tried sending a message via the contact on their website without success - but I did send it in english and not spanish.
Is this slicker than MdC? Cella? Palmolive EU stick?
If it's slicker than properly lathered Cella, count me in.
That bowl looks like it would crack in half with a little inadvertent judo chop to the rim.
And the lather is fluorescent greenish?
