I used Agnus (Unscented Lamb Tallow) this morning and I thought it was going to have somewhat of an animal scent when I took delivery of it and opened it to smell it but when I used it today, no scent at all. Well done again Mo!! I am so used to having a wonderful smell when I finish shaving with your soaps. My Wife did not like not having a scent but the soap performed just like Angel. I have never bought an unscented soap before and just wanted to get this to have another lamb tallow because of how well Angel performed. Loved the lather but the no scent thing takes some getting used to for me. I know some people swear by unscented soaps but for me, it was just different!

That said, I'm wondering what aftershaves you guys pair with these various soaps. Can you let me know what you think are the best combinations? BTW, I know that Mo will be releasing his own aftershave line soon. I will definitely pick up some of those, but sometimes I like to have complimentary scents as well, not just matching. I am terrible at picking the stuff out on my own and so could use some help from you guys.  What soap and aftershave combinations have you used that really work?


I won’t list any specifics as Mohammad is much better equipped to answer this than myself, but I just try to match a few things in scent notes from the artisans. I always keep some unscented options on hand as well because I have NO idea what I would put with the earl grey mallard

The other day, I paired Bleu de Chanel with Earl Grey.  It worked nicely...IMHO.

I personally would never use a soap and a matching aftershaves. There is a wonderful trend which I like a lot: Scent layering. I'll elaborate on it when the aftershaves make their debut.

The aftershave scents have been ready for a couple of months now, butI'm still making changes to the bases. Sorry for the vagueness.

Although I haven't smelled Mo's Earl Grey, I would suggest looking into Cheshire tonique from B&M as a possible pairing.

Precisely what I did, and it pairs well together.

Love Earl Gray & Cardamom tea, and Mohammad's soaps are by far my current favorite of all artisans.

I have very sensitive skin with dense coarse facial hair. Mohammad's masterful alchemy is astounding.

Bravo, Mohammad...

Thanks you so much HK45 I greatly appreciate your business and support.

Alright, you twisted my arm Smile Here are the scents for an aftershave I used this AM that would be perfect for Mallard Early Grey: Mandarin, bergamot, mint, geranium, patchouli, sandalwood. The mint quanity in this aftershave is minuscule, the mint note is almost unnoticeable, but it creates a slight cooling effect.

Brother, this is a must have in my book!

Just give the word as to when and consider me in.

Grazie mille Signore!

Just posting to express my frustration with USPS Sad


The package I shipped to Pasteur Pharmacy in NYC was delayed by two days, then it was delivered to someone in a completely different zip code, even though the package was labeled correctly!

USPS service has become a complete joke.

I have ordered or shipped items, and time and again they've screwed up.

They mark an item delivered, and it clearly was not, and took them two to three days to do so after I visited the post master.

This is absolutely unacceptable since buyers and sellers then end up in a spitting contest, though neighter is at fault.

Editing to add, have lost count of how many neighbors have dropped by with my parcels since it was delivered to them!
