Tub Kill!
Varen is one of my favorites, and I am sad to see it go.
Varen comes in the mutton tallow base, and as such it was discontinued with the rest of them when mutton got too expensive a year or two ago.
Later, the price of mutton went back down, and the mutton soaps returned! Rejoice!
Unfortunately, when I check the Stirling website, Maggard, etc… Varen seems to be sold out everywhere. Has anybody had their ear to the ground about that?
So, this might be my last Varen shave ever. In order to give it the respect that it deserves, I used an unscented aftershave and no frag today.

Pasteur Pharmacy has 4 in stock, but I’m just going to hold out hope that it’ll come back.

Shit, I’m considering getting one of those, you stoked fear about a Varenless future 😅

I emailed Stirling last night… we’ll see what they say!
