I realized that I somehow have never tried any of the scented Valobra-labeled hard shaving soaps, and I would really like to do so before I am too old to shave. Please PM me if you have one or more you would be willing to sell.
Thanks.

Honestly don't bother, just threw out five of them two weeks ago because the performance is not good and the scents are very "special".

What!? That's just crazy, I only have the unscented pucks but the performance is still on par with the latest & greatest artisan soaps. Still in my top 3 after all these years

I sent my 289 AC Cobra/Sunbeam Tiger to the crusher because it wouldn't handle in the snow and there were no airbags.

I'm not sure I understand this. Perhaps irony, about throwing something out because it isn't always perfect?
Anyway, strange because 40 years ago I actually had a 1966 Tiger 260, which I had to sell because of medical school costs.

I now have some Valobra Cologne coming, but I really would like to try the Patchouly also. Please PM if you have any to sell.

Interesting that they didn't work for you.  I have the old formula AoS which I understand to have been made by Valobra and its my Sunday favorite.  In fact, I have several backups.

this just proves again that YMMV is a bona fide principle.
