I use a tallow-based soap for bathing. I like it a lot. $5 for 450g (5 bars). Australian made.

What brand?

 

[Ferret619]

What brand?

This guy Tyler Durden sells it.
Would love to tell you more but can’t talk about it.

I don’t want to fight with you for bathing soap now. You are going to empty the shelves. I’ll keep it to myself.

Aaah it’s the Pinky Fight Club bar soap

Just saw Mens Biz have hiked the remaining Mitchells tallow by $10 a puck

Home Brand Woolies bath soap was tallow and Made in Oztralia last time I checked... pretty good stuff too!

I have increased the size of tallow mountain to the tune of 7 more Kent refills and some Cyril Salter pucks. I can now just see @SpeedyPC sitting on his larger mountain if I squint on a clear day.

Washpool Soaperie has highly regarded tallow shave soap

I think I’m sitting at about 20 Tabac. 5 MWF, 13 Kent, 6 Speick and 7 Salter. I’m going to use up the soaps I have and then use the above exclusively along with MDC.

Bugger, I forgot to mention the 3 pucks of Potter & Moore, and 2 pucks of Old Spice.

3 pucks of Potter & Moore

WTH is Potter & Moore?

Looks like this. They are so old they are in Bakelite.

Nope, try it and find out

Thanks for the kind offer @SpeedyPC but I may as well work my way through my own mini soap mountain before giving the new MWF a try. The old MWF was my favourite soap but there are still plenty of options that are close enough that I won't lose much sleep if the new one isn't as good. Meanwhile, I'll let others review the new stuff... it will be some years before I need any new soap.

Although, to prevent being caught short again on an old tallow favourite, this reminds me that I really need to get organised and order at least a couple of boxes of ARKO while they still make it. While I understand the toilet freshener joke out of the box, I find that much like Cella, the scent becomes much less offensive and indeed quite reasonable once it has been allowed to air out for (quite) awhile. It's also much less drying or irritating after that IMO, which were the only real criticisms I ever had of it.

Anyway, while Dove still make their hand soap, I'll be happy. While it has almost none of the characteristics one would think would make a good shaving soap, I can't argue that the results and post shave feel are second to none on my face...

Speaking of Arko, there’s another Turkish soap on the market, not sure if this is genuine though FYI, or maybe just a rebrand of another type

It’s real. But opinions say not as good as ARKO.

Hope this soap smells better than the lemony urinal smell

Could always try the Derby Sticks. I’ve seen them at about $20 delivered in Aus for a box of 12.
