P160 is a very good performer. My only dislike is the almond scent. I'm not big on almond. Everything else about this soap is 7 to 9 on a scale of 10.
There isn't a single product that *everyone* likes.

Indeed, indeed...but out of stock,
Hi,
I could understand people having a hard time with the scent (I DON'T), but, honestly, not with the lather or the shaves it delivers.
This thing rocks!!
I have the P.160 tipo duro myself, which is already rather soft, putty-like.
Just my 0.02...

I hope so about good latherability...the fellow BBer who made the bad review was talking about a kind of eczema!!

It's an awesome top performer. Generates a wonderful rich lather, and the putty like consistency allows you to easily mold it to any container.
The almond smell is a candy like almond smell, and pretty strong; not subtle like many products. I myself like the smell.
If you don't want the full KG of it, you can easily sell off the extra on the B/S/T here, it moves quite fast.

...and where can one buy this nowadays?
Your guess is as good as mine. The usual suppliers have been out of stock for quite some time.

I got mine from Maher who had bought a kilo and sold some in small lots.
Really great lather.
If you just want the soap, it's probably too expensive, given the shipping costs. I am selling those, so just check out the vendor section.
As for the scent: I like it very much, it's a bit stronger than the Crema Cella, but I don't think it's too much almond.

fwiw, I prefer the shave and the scent of P.160 over valobra or cella.
I LOVE P.160.
I LOVE P.160.
I think the P.160 is one of if not the worst creams I have tried. As much as I wanted to like this soap it did not work for me. It mad lather easily but not even close to cella for me. I will try the topo duro as I heard people say they had better luck with it but I would pass.
+1 especially in winter.
I love the stuff. I find the scent to be one of the best things about it. Shoeboxshaveshop did have some. Not anymore.
Btw, I have the tipo duro and the tipo morbido as well as cella and all three are equal to me in performance. I have heard folks say that the tipo morbido dried out faster than they'd like but I've never had that problem.
I'd hate to see these go off the market here. If these had scents other than almond they'd be in my top tier of soaps.

Shoeboxshave seems to have it now.

Do the tipo duro and tipo morbido smell the same?
