Golden Valobra Soap Discovery

[Norman Gunston]

When you are scrabbling around at the back of your soap drawer, and find gold!
I have been nursing my last half-barrette of Valobra Glicerlanolina, and wondering what I was going to use as a pre-shave soap once it was gone, given Valobra have ceased production. Needless to say, the sight below brought a massive smile to my face.
And if you were wondering - Yes, it doubles as a wonderful shave soap.

Yes, I once brought home a similar bar of Valobra soap without knowing whether it could be used for shaving, or not.

When asked, Sr. Valobra explained to me that it was not a shaving soap, but that in the absence of a better alternative you might as well shave with it - as some of his customers did.
Great it was not, but could could shave with it, if needed.

I was saddened when this company was sold and am still curious as to what the new owners plan to do with it.

Nice!
Let us know how it shaves!
Looks to be pretty similar ingredient list to their more recent bath soap bar.
