Right primo, but the problem with PayPal is they don't like it if you use a different country in your shipping address. I contacted the vendor and asked them to just send me a PayPal invoice instead.

If I didn't use my forwarder and had it shipped directly to me, $45 bucks for shipping alone  Confused

Any alternative to this soap with similar scent and performance?

Still haven't heard from the merchant after the last email. Shucks.

Oh well, I tried.

Still hoping the merchant follows through. I was trying to buy three pucks.

Many top tier stuff have similar performance. It's just a really good soap, but not the end all be all. I actually didn't like it very much at first but has grown to really like it after a while.

No, the scent is totally unique.
It's a niche quality scent. Not for beginner noses.

Performance is top notch too. Only the best can compete with I Coloniali - Nuavia, CRSW, B&M Glissant, Savonniere du Moulin, Tabula Rasa, Savon des Volcans, Czech &Speak, Wickham 1912, Klar Seifen and a few others.

It's another instance of YMMV, but I didn't really like the scent, and I don't have a beginner nose. And for me the performance was nothing special at all.

Absolutely fantastic shave soap. Why is it always that the best companies go under Confused
