His new vegan base is fantastic and I have a difficult time differentiating it from his tallow bases.  My wife really likes the scent of Barbershop.

I purchased the Valencia today. (Plus all the Mallards).

+1 on the vegan base.  I got some Valencia today. I expect the duck fat soaps are excellent too, but I was glad enough to get the Valencia.

I see that West Coast has NYChypre available again and on sale. It was sold out earlier.

I received a tub of NYCypre in today’s mail from West Coast. I will try it in the morning. My initial sniff of the soap off the puck reminds me of Chypre Vert.

GD soaps are live.  Vegan Valencia, three Mallard soaps and two unscented now on sale.
I ordered one of each of the scented.

Thanks for the share. I took a look when you posted earlier.

Has anyone heard anything about when this "big" release got moved to? The one with creedance, yuzu, and all the others.

Barbershop, An Afterthought

I shaved early this morning, ate breakfast, walked the dogs, cleaned up, and went to church.  When I got back home and stepped into the bathroom, it took a few seconds to realize that the lovely citrusy smell was the lingering bouquet of Barbershop.    

I just got around to using Barbershop for the first time Sunday morning and I have to add a big +1 to Mike's earlier observation on the fantastic scent left in the bathroom.

I also could not tell whether I was using a vegan or tallow soap. For those that are hesitant to use vegan soaps, don't be. This Janus vegan base is incredible.

Mo told me a couple of weeks ago that these were all done and curing on racks. Personally I'm waiting on PAX, Angel, and two of the "lighter" tallow scents.

Whatever happened (or not) with the vetiver that I read about some months ago?

Thanks

I picked up a tub of Tao and NYChypre from WCS recently and used the NYC this morning. It was delightful. I think that what Mohammad is doing is the most exciting thing in wet shaving right now, at least in the software space. I haven't been active in hardware for a while so can't comment. I feel honoured to be a beneficiary of Mo's art and I hope he keeps on doing his thing for as long as he wants to.

Oh, and I also stopped in at Italian Barber so I'm flush with Grooming Dept. product - I'm really looking forward to trying the pre / post serums.
