Please suggest a PAA soap

Hi Folks,

After watching a recent instructional video from a famous YouTube Shaver, I have decided to do two things:

1. Bloom my soaps
2. Finally buy a PAA soap.

So suggest me one. If it helps, a few of my favorite scents (scents only) are

1. B&M Seville, Oceana, First Snow
2. MW Bay Rum, Poggio dei Pini, Irish Traveler, Egyptian Dragon
3. CRSW Bois Flo....
4. Tabac

You get some idea I hope.

Well, although the scent is probably not that similar to any of the ones you mentioned (perhaps Tabac being the closest), I absolutely love Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements’ Cavendish soap for its scent. Performance-wise it’s not among the best I have, but I adore the scent so much that I keep it around just because of that alone — not that the shaves are bad, by any means.

Another PAA scent I really enjoy (but have only tried as an aftershave) is Gondolier.

I have only tried a few samples, but 2 I really liked were Cavendish and Black Tea.

I only have one PAA soap, Malbolge, but I have 15 PAA aftershaves. My favorites are Cavendish, The Beach, Tombstone, Bay Rum, Sk8shop and Ciderhouse 5. The PAA family of aftershaves is perhaps my favorite, but Wm Neumanns and Floids are also great.

The top sellers are:

• Beach  
  
• Cad
  
• Chocolate Bourbon
  

never used a PAA soap before, but Miami Libre smelled pretty darn good when CaD314 sent me some in 2015 for the Movember donation drive.

Cad is really nice.



I never bloom soaps.

Make sure you get the matching after shave splash!

I never bloom soaps.

Neither do I!

If you were unfortunate enough to stumble upon YouTube shaving drama during year review time lazy office day, you would get what I meant.

I like Bay Rum, Coconut Bay with Lime, The Beach and Good Vibrations. A bit of a theme going on but they smell great.
