Will Rogers famously never met a man he didn't like, but he probably never shaved with a rose forward soap.  Who knows how things might have turned out if he had?  My Passiflora sample is due today, iso barring a hold up, it will be on deck for Thu-Rose-day tomorrow.

Knowing nothing about autostrop razors, I was all onboard with the Wizamet comment. See, I learned something about a razor today.

Wonder if you could borrow the old 'the more you know' graphic for your videos? They're often quite informative (at least for me). Lol.[Image: giphy.gif?cid=349c9dd7gfwd9mxfysqvwyrkny...y.gif&ct=g]
It may just be me or the sample I got. Thanks Paul mrdoug How about I send you the rest of the sample ?

I’m hoping that Will hasn’t modified the scent because that would be a crime along the same lines as changing the scent of Hallows or Leviathan.  Pitchforks and torches time for sure.
Well Rose is one of the notes and that's what I'm getting strong but I seem to be the only one so it may just be me as I said being an outlier.

[Image: yIN92iK.jpg]My nose is as unsophisticated as it gets. My assessment of scent is usually restricted to I like or I not like. Sometimes with the modifier “really “ in front. If there’s rose in the mix then I’m unable to detect it. I’ve commented in the past on how subjective scent is. On the topic of rose scent, I went through a rose liking phase a number of years ago but now I don’t particularly care for it. It’s fine in the garden but…

I just stuck my nose in the tub and still no rose for me.

To be fair, I’d have to do a side by side sniff with the latest release.

For sure, and we all know it - EVERYONE has different interpretations of scent. My wife thinks Fahrenheit smells like turpentine LOL. But she is right in her own interpretation. Unfortunately I can't wear it when she is home. Real bummer.

I can't detect any rose in my newly purchased Passiflora. I get a fruit forward floral with some bite [green/herbal] in it to keep it from being overly sweet. And I am a rose-a-pile, so if there was any it wouldn't have hurt my feelings. There must be some tuberose or white floral accord that Davey is keen on or tuned to.

The inner-web has some very inerstin concepts on smell - and it is really poorly understood. I think covid [my wife & i save has it twice inspire of Dubl vaxx/boosters] screwed my wife's nose up. She thinks coffee smells like baloney - it could be me

Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Maybe it's the overly floral having me think rose. I was hoping it to be more a spicy and fruity. Glad I got the sample and happier y'all are digging it. Happy2

I do get a strong passion fruit from it which I like. It’s clearly got some floral obviously (passiFLORA) but it’s balanced to my no because I can’t pick out any specific flower. I’d be bummed if my morning coffee started smelling like baloney. Sad
