I live in Austin but work in Round Rock; Tim is up in Georgetown which is quite close to my office and about 20-30min north of downtown Austin.

Are you in Houston Figaro?

This is wonderful soap. I can not complain about it. It is very flexible. I have been able to make it fluffy with lots of cushion, and also wet and yogurt consistency. I have never had a problem with the slickness of this soap. Blade just glides.

I am definitely going to buy a lot more of his soaps as the budget allows. I am hoping to meet him sometime as he practically local to me (given Texas standards).

I did in fact pick up both Greek Peach and Breakfast of Champions. Agree with your perspective fully and get fantastic shaves with each.

GP is like a summer walk through Fredericksburg and BoC is such a great, complex assortment of manly scents; softened by sweeter notes of vanilla.

I exchanged emails with Tim as I live South but work North and he was interested in carving out some time to connect (he's teacher so sometime in the afternoon).

Once confirmed, will PM you and see if we could all connect.

I've been a fan of Tim's Soap since I first purchased Clean Cut a couple months ago. The performance is great and the scent on Clean Cut is outstanding. Blue Suit is probably next for me.

I agree Hobbyist- only have the two still but used BoC earlier this week. Still very much enjoy both scent and performance of both a great deal.

I wish I lived close to him like you so I could smell them all before my next purchase. I am thinking Blue Suit but Wood & Roses and Greek Peach are also quite tempting.

I got Tim's Wassail scent and Ruby Red this week. They have both been excellent. The Wassail is definitely one that reminds me of the season and will be used for my shaves the rest of the month at least.

I want to try some of Tim's new green label soaps (enviromentally friendly soaps). They sound wonderful, and definitely a formula for soaps that I have not seen yet.

Thank you for posting this. I am going to order something from the new Green Label. I love essential oils and absolutes in my shave soaps and that line only uses both. I also read his reason for discontinuing the LE and couldn't agree more.
