Is the WASHPOOL worth a punt?

Is the WASHPOOL worth a punt?

Other than lacking a fancy name and graphics, it is well worth the cost. They also sell replacement pucks which are more economical if you do not need the plastic jar. I like purchasing Aussie products whenever possible.

Washpool No3 (Tallow, Shea butter and Lanolin, Unscented) is one of my "preferred'' soaps for Kamisori shaving, their No1 & 2 are scented but no Lanolin. Yes as @Phil Harmonica says, Aussie products whenever, up there if not better than more costly imported soaps, IMHO

Moved out of my rented farm shed into my own new (85yo) home on Wednesday evening. Sorting out all my stuff, I didn't come across my SRs until Thursday evening, so this was my first SR shave in my new home.
