Done and Dusted ---- Products you have finished

Finished a puck of Siliski Meditation soap today. Good product from a  good artisan, I hope that he decides to come back into the wetshaving space someday.

One of my favorite scents of all time. I'm sad to see it go especially since it is discontinued.

I wonder why he’s discontinuing it given it seems to be a very popular scent?

Apparently the fragrance ingredients have gotten prohibitively expensive so it wouldn't be profitable for Dan to make it anymore.

One of my favorite scents of all time. I'm sad to see it go especially since it is discontinued.

Don't you hate when that happens, and not just with scents but with soap lines (think Barrister & Mann's Latha line, for example or a company going out of business like Desmond's Barrow or Tim's).  Then, when it comes to eau de toilettes and colognes, there is the always dreaded word "reformulation", which is almost never a good sign.

Yeah sometimes it gets somewhat annoying. With the constant "base race" going on, some artisans feel pressure to update their formulas every year or two. I've found that sometimes I actually prefer some of the older bases that aren't being made anymore.

Same here. some of the older formulas I find to be better than the newer base but not always the case. Just shaved with CRSW L,Orange Jardin in the OG base and find it superior to the Glide, same for Lisa's hard pucks although the newer base is very good as well. Tiki Vegan base comes to mind as well since it has been discontinued for quite some time now. It's all a matter of preference and that new and improved is all a matter of opinion.

Finito!!

On a roll!!!

Amongst my all time favourites - along with ETHOS Vanilla, Succes, Vetyver, Colonia, Agrumes&...you get the picture.  In fairness, was the remnants of the H&S 316 passaround so only 2 shaves left upon return  Check out the quality of the jar; really shows when empty.

R.I.P. "Barbershop Taper Fade" by First Canadian Shave Soap Co. The original formula, which is no longer in production.
This was the second tub of the first soap I had ever bought online, in 2016, while they were still just on Etsy. It was bundled with a Semogue 620 brush.
The scent was wonderful, heavy on the bergamot but, alas, that faded two years ago. It was still a good performing tallow soap to the end.

I do love the Thayers WH but I doubt I will buy another bottle for at least a couple years.  I need the collection of Stirling WHs to dwindle before I buy anymore, regardless of brand!
