Go on, hit that orange button -

At current exchange rates this works out at only $A26 per tub!

(plus potential GST at import)

Unscented Valobra still available from here:

They do ship to Australia apparently.

Paging @SpeedyPC, didn't you say you were running out of unscented Valobra?

I'm looking for more Oxford & Cambridge.

With the price difference you can afford to put O&C cologne in a diffuser while shaving with the unscented Valobra. It would be the same experience

That is not such a silly idea. Hmmm, where's that pesky instabuy button... OTOH, maybe I'm just being greedy. I do have 7 spare pucks of O&C waiting in the wings...

Already got three unscented tubs early last year.

Yes, aiming to finish anything with the "donut of death" although taking longer than expected. I get a bit bored with the same setup but in no rush.
Getting to really dial in the lather and appreciate how slick and hydrated it can be with enough water added

Pinaud Clubman and Arko don’t go together.

Sure they do, but the veg is better.

Ran the Treet Carbon Steel blade in my partners late Grandfathers razor. Gave a much better shave than in the Game Changer

Razor: Blackland Vector

This soap has been unavailable for so long, I had to leap at it when it appeared at Vshod. So far, I haven't found a single B&M soap that I would buy again, and this one's no exception: the scent doesn't quite cloy, but comes close. I'm going to put it aside for now and see how I feel about it in winter.

The new Omnibus base deserves a special mention, if only because I rarely concern myself about such things. I pride myself on being able to work up a decent lather with just about any soap. This one is exceptional, however, delivering a rich, dense buttery-smooth lather leaving my skin with a perfectly hydrated BBS. Fantastic.

The metal tin that came with my Kaweco Brass Sport fountain pen is a nice little box to tuck away some favourite blades.
