I have to admit that until I stumbled over this vintage advertisement I had never even heard about this brand – and as excited the guy seems, I want to try it now.

Poking online I do see that there is a brand of the same name that is still available, and that claims to hark back to the 1860’s… it is tempting to see if I can score some.

Update: After talking with @ShavingZA on Twitter, I got more than tempted – so I ordered some from the UK. Watch this space!
