I presume that the AOS NOS Tallow is better than their current rubbish ...

Yes, only buy the NOS tallow formula (one person on Ebay has mass stock of it) it's considered one of, if not, the best Sandalwood's around. The new stuff is complete rubbish and not worth trying.

Seller underestimated the power of washing up liquid and a toothbrush, plate loss mentioned in the sales ad was as suspected, simply grime. The brassing under the head i thought i could live with, but toothbrush removed that too (whatever it was). Quick wash with rubbing alcohol and a shine up with a Cape Cod cloth and this was the result. Sometimes it pays off to take a punt (y)

First pic demonstrates what happens with fatigue and the only web access is from a smart phone.
Accidentally ordered 2x snake bite and the same SV as from the company the image below it represents, rather than the St James Black Pepper and Limes soap.
Going hard in recent sales and before the added 10% online tax is introduced later this year.

Big fan of modern Personna's but had plans on keeping these, but now you've said that....... maybe i will bust them open and try one of them out. Not as if they're part of a set or anything (y)

Here's todays mail. Traded with an enthusiast in the states. Love it, pictures don't really do it justice either.

Was going to take the piss about 4 400ml bottles of Floid until you reminded me about the online tax.
a) when does this occur? and
b) surely small concerns like G&C won't be affected by this? If I remember correctly at the time it was announced Hockey said it was about getting some of the big players to register for GST collection. Small players like G&C would decide to just not deal with us in Australia instead of having to do that

Floid Blue is also discontinued to the best of my knowledge.
It begins at the beginning of the financial year, ie mid year.

Yes, I suspect as much, or you will start to cop invoices to release items from Customs in lieu if that company doesn't collect.

Discontinued and highly sort after, so much so that Barristers Reserve aimed to preserve it by way of their 'Cool'.

Those bottles are already quite scarce and valuable for fans of the scent :cool:

I will trade you 200 polsilvers for a bottle...

Can't miss what you've never tried. However if you hear their Vigoroso is going out of production please let me know.
