Nostalgia Night, with First Canadian Shave Soap Co.'s "Barbershop Taper Fade".
My tub is down to a ring, and it has lost its Citrusy-Bergamotty smelly goodness, but still made great lather tonight. - Part of my SOTN tonight.
The nostalgia is because this soap is the first artisanal soap I'd ever bought since resuming DE shaving in 2016, and the first soap that didn't come from the P&G/Nivea/Edgewell shelves in the local pharmacy.
They were still selling only through Etsy at the time, in 2016, I think, and I bought it as part of a soap + Semogue 620 brush bundle.
I had bought a second tub of it because I particularly liked the scent. It was one of those soaps I'd crack open at random times I'd happen to be in the bathroom just to get a sniff.
In 2017 the original owner sold it to a couple in Toronto, and they changed the name and formula. Reviews said it wasn't quite the same.
