Colonial Drug in Cambridge MA carries it. No internet sales but you might want to give them a call.

I have some (purchased from a member here) - it's in a very plain unfinished wooden bowl....
Works well - has the unmistakeable scent of K10....
I like it!
Colonial quoted me a price of $35 for the soap in a wooden bowl - they didn't list the puck alone. Add 5% for MA tax; $7.00 delivery by UPS to stateside addresses.
The people at Colonial are very nice & helpful - when I ordered my K10 edt the fellow checked its availability while I waited (I think I got the last bottle - no top on it... but the bottle was 125ml, not the 100ml listed!). I received it in four days (including the holiday weekend!).

I could be wrong, but I though colonial drugs used to offer free shipping if you mentioned you are a B&B member?
wow - I wish I had thought to ask... Cambridge Chemists in NYC comps shipping for members, I think, but I didn't know about Colonial....

This is one soap I might try on for size in 2010.
There was a guy on SMF who sold three pucks for $40 - too bad I saw this too late...
Wow Mike, you are really sticking to the minimalist shave den aren't you? Good for you, I wish I had the same willpower.

Considering the AD's that I have been through, YES.... ( I still would like to try this soap next year) I may have to call Colonial after the first of the year and pick some up. Until then I have a small smidgen of TABAC left...about 1/2 a puck of MWF, 1 inch of a Speick Shave Stick left, 3/4 of a tube of Speick cream, and 90% plus of a recent BST purchase... a tub of Geo. F. Trumper Coconut Oil Shaving Cream to remind me of the very FIRST Luxury shaving cream I ever purchased close to 3 years ago. (So I'm minimalist considering my past...certainly not as simplified as say a Shaker.
I saw some at Cambridge Chemists in NYC a few weeks ago.

so is it a good soap? scent and efficacy?
Can anyone with the soap and bowl comment on the longevity of the bowl? I've heard some people have splitting problems with the (unfinished) wood.
Thought I would bump this.
Anyone have a review for the soap? I like the scent and want to try the soap.

It is a good, triple-milled soap. IIRC, it is not a tallow-containing soap, if that matters. (I don't think it used to be tallow either, so no reformulation stumbles to worry about.)
The scent is ... K-10. You like it or you don't.
Great performance. It's been sitting unused in my rotation for a long time, but IIRC it performs well although it might leave the skin a bit drier than average after the shave. (Nothing a decent balm can't fix.)
(I generally use one soap or cream for a whole calendar month, and then move on to another, so there's nothing sinister to read into my not having used this soap for a while.)
