Haha Chris, it's been years since I fit that description.

Now I'm the bald guy (Irish side of the family, not the Jewish one, naturally) with white zinc all over my noggin to avoid melanoma.

As for Condors, yes you can hang out at the Malibu Country Mart on the weekends and throw a stick, you'll hit one.

It's not that bad, believe me. Just keep that pace and you'll be all right. This year I've bought:

- Eufros Kasbah
- Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
- Eufros Dama de Noche
- Eufros Fougère
- Ingram cream
- A few Bea/Lea sticks

All those are great! How's the scent strength on your Eufros Fougere? I got a sample and it was very faint. Too bad because I love the scent. It's more herbal and woodsy than perfume-y.

I would say it's a 7, out of 10. It's not the strongest of Manuel's scents, that's for sure. But it's still quite perceptible during the shave. To me, it is herbal, with a subtle woodsy background and some sweet note in the middle of it. I like it a lot.

I agree 100%. I didn't get it because I have a fougere already and trying not to duplicate scents, but Manuels' fougere is very different and I would have been very happy with it.

B&M Seville
Viking Lavender and Cedar
Stirling Piacenza
Fine Italian Citrus

The last two are essentially the same thing. I was ordering empty jars from maggard and just tossed in the fine soap and AS without thinking about it.

Eric, Tell me about the Seville. The logo is art. I haven't bought any soaps but have been gifted with several. I have this master plan to buy a big fat reserve of  MWF and then try a few new ones.

Kav, it's Alex.  Are you confusing me with EricM?  The scent is very nice -- a classic citrus with some woody tones.  I haven't used it yet, people rave about the Glissant.  Will report back but as you know I have two tubs of soap to kill before I take on the new ones...

Seville was my first B&M soap and I have to say I am not disappointed one bit. The soap is awesome.

The Esbjerg is a wonderful cream in every way. The CRSW is a joy to shave with, I only wish the Juniper were a stronger fragrance. I won't sell or trade any of my soaps, I enjoy them each too much.
