Four bloody Yardley bastard.....This lot has trickled in over the past couple of months. I'll have to make space in the den by selling some modern artisan sets.
Take it easy @Holiday ! You're going to cause heads to explode by dropping that many of these suckers in all at once. At least trickle them in one at a time... You can draw the fun out longer that way too!This lot has trickled in over the past couple of months. I'll have to make space in the den by selling some modern artisan sets.

WOW, just WOW!

You're going to be hearing from my executors if you post many more pics like that, my friend.
I've just come back from Emergency, what everybody thought was heart failure turned out to be a bilious attack. 
I've never seen those Canadian Yardleys before, but obviously I've been looking in the wrong places. Do they smell the same as the green label pucks? And as for the C&S, I long ago despaired of seeing those ever again, but maybe the FOMO has subsided somewhat, and folks are letting part of their hoards go...
... But I have enough Yardley and C&S to see me through the next five years or more, so I shouldn't be greedy.
Glad to hear your health is Ok mate.

I was suspicious of the Canadian Yardley but google searched the image and found a few blogs that indicated they are legitimate. This Yardley Shaving Soap Appreciation Thread was the best source I could find and refers to them as White Label. Haven't opened any yet but they are all sealed with a ring of plastic.
This guy has more than 10 available but I could not strike a deal with him and they are a bit rich for my liking. I think you might have bought up all the decent green label.
I was totally joking about the bilious attack.
but thanks anyway. I only have one intact green label (other than what I'm currently using, which in this case is nearly scentless but still excellent). My ancient but still fragrant shave stick in its glass jar lives in my travel wash-bag (I like to rough it in comfort). IIRC, I think I only have 3 untouched soaps, of which I'll post a family pic anon. And I still have an untouched Black Label, and an even rarer example in a faux tortoiseshell box.
I've been a bit careful about (not) going overboard with Yardley. Over the last 4(?) years, I somehow got stuck in a nostalgia cycle, since Yardley (esp. Black Label) is what I grew up with (inasmuch as I admit to growing up at all), and somehow ended up spending a minor king's ransom. But no more. Really. Maybe
It helps if I keep telling myself that.
Stead on the boys and girls sound like a few of you need a cold shower.
Please close the bloody bathroom door
I have a suspicion that ring of plastic doesn't do much other than suggest virginity.
My newest Green Label (see below) came with such a ring that had perished enough to crack in transit. My treatment with all of these is to vac-pack the whole lower part of the bowl, leaving the lid out in order to preserve what's left of the scent.
Incidentally, I have no idea what the NOS soap in the faux tortoiseshell box is. Smells lovely, but not like the YBL. Presumably a bit of a unicorn...

Mine's just a cheapie Sunbeam machine I've had for something like 20 years. They don't get rave reviews, but it works fine for me. There are equivalents at a similar price at my nearest catering supplies shop.Must buy vacuum packer

I'll send you my address PM, thank you !
You'll never break him, he's too smart for you, and way too tough for you to negotiate him.
