Awesome testimony to a great product. I agree that Alex has done yeoman service by starting this thread and keeping it alive. I got to know of this great product from this thread and I live in India.

Alex, take a bow. You've earned it for championing the cause of this great product which is still an underdog compared to so many famous names. It is ironic that none of the so called wet shaving online stores who claim to serve the wet shaving community have decided to stock it and make it more easily and reliably available.

You're fortunate Jack that you bought it from Amazon. I attempted to buy it from the only Ebay vendor who sells Bio Palmyra(he's based in India)and I had to file a formal complaint to get a refund.Evidently,many other people had the same problem,The guy is a fraud! Don't use him ! Please let me know what you think of the BioPalmyra. I may try Amazon in the future

Craig.
I had good luck with the Indiashipped company on Amazon.
I ordered on Aug 31 and it was delivered to my door Sept 11.
$8 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Biotique-Palmy...=8-1&keywords=

This stuff is really runny -- maybe I should I leave the cover off a few days?
Light smell of maybe apple?
I tried it in my Becker Scuttle a small pea sized amount.
and my inexpensive VDH boar brush
Amazing amount of thick slippery warm lather.
I used my Gillette Thin Adjustable set at 4 with a Personna Med prep blade.
no weepers no cuts, great shave.
I highly recommend that everyone try this.

Thanks to Alex2363 for bringing this to our attention.

I recommend mixing it really well with a knife or spoon and then letting it sit in the fridge for a few days. Repeat if necessary. It will solidify.

I might try that also!

Silly question but would you still keep the lid on in the fridge?

Hmmm...apple-like scent...a sour scent, like green apples? As in, Jolly Rancher? I don't think I can get over that, without having tried it. I definitely want to try the aftershave though, so that's already ordered.

It is really mildly scented. Many people use it with another soap or cream which would easily overpower the scent. It may well be the best performing soap I have used.

I have two tubs since summer last year and I still can't finish the first. However I don't use it daily.
It's a top product, and its fresh faintly apple-like scent is perfect for summery weather. No trouble in whipping up a great lather and the brush always seems to be simply loaded with it.
