Behold the Grail...

[Evbo]

Well, I'm not sure if it's the Grail or not, but at any rate it sure seems to be in short supply. Recently obtained but not yet used. I'm pretty sure the scent is gone but I'll know for sure once it's been lathered up.

The Houbigant soap is certainly a rare find. Congrats.

So you're the one. I saw that and figured no way it would sell at that price. Congrats man. I hope it has as much scent as the seller claimed. (See the question she posted... says it is still potently scented).

 

[Jim]

Well done Evan!

Congratulations.

Yeah, I know. I was the one who asked that question.

I tore the package open this morning & stuck my sniffer into the soap 1st thing because of course, I needed to verify what she said. But unfortunately, I'm pretty sure all I got was that "crayon-y" vintage, tallow smell. I don't think the seller knowingly lied, though. I just think she doesn't know any better.

You pays your money, you takes your chances. I have no regrets.

Nice find! Let us know how it lathers on you.

Awesome pick up. I saw it too, but just couldn't pull the trigger.

Many apologies to Jon for thinking he was Houbigant hoarding

But does it taste like crayon?

You were one of those kids who liked to eat paste/Elmer's Glue, weren't you.

 

[SliceOfLife]

Play-doh.

Why else would they have the spaghetti maker!?!

Do crayons make good lather?

Only the Burnt Sienna ones.

...mmm... multiple bowls of HFR....

In your honor Evan, today I used [one of my] Houbigant Fougere Royale - it was sublime.

I think it is, indeed, the Grail. I hope yours has some scent in there somewhere!


(Bob - You'd better be quicker on the trigger: next one out there, I'm going for it!)
