Soap: Aussie Palmolive

Have you tried the European version shave stick? IF yes, have you've compared both versions? because the European create a better lather than the Aussie version of Palmolive.

I have. The European version burns my face, the Aussie version doesn't. Can't say I've ever had an issue lathering the Aussie one either.

The European version burns my face

That's strange the European version doesn't burn my face, I guess your body contains all Aussie blood, I'm half a half-born mixer of UK/Irish and Aussie blood in my family all the way back to the year of 1126 in the UK, so I guess I don't have any issue with any European shaving soap version.

Unlikely given both my parents are English migrants. Just a case of the Euro version having something in it that doesn't agree with my face.

Not happy! Some joker claimed I have a secret stash of Arko buried in PVC. Just spent the last week digging holes everywhere and am pretty much convinced I don't have a secret stash of Arko, though I did drop a couple of kilos bodyweight . Kindly remove the aforementioned claim from my 'tag line'.
