This is my second tub of Cheshire. The first, which I bought back in 2014, smelled like lemon and pine. At least that’s what my untrained nose made of it then. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about scents. Now when I smell Cheshire, I get bergamot and lots of patchouli. I mean a lot of patchouli. The sage is clary sage, not cooking sage. It has a mellow hay-like aroma. Altogether these three notes make a fresh, well grounded accord that may be Will’s best original work.

Suspect we agree though that Will's old label artwork was industry standard setting whereas the new label artwork disappointing. While realise the old artwork is now legally unusable, that doesn't excuse just how bad is the current.

Divine. The best part is that the frankincense is at the fore and the myrrh "might be present". Frankincense is the best scent in the natural world... I really hate when a scent lists frankincense and then it's buried under a bunch of other inferior notes. Why bother.

I’ve got lots of milled soap pucks but have ignored them for awhile. Why? The last few shaves I’ve focused on those hard pucks and have realized how much I enjoy the process of putting a brush to a soap. So much so that I decided to open two brand new old stock soaps. Geo F Trumper Coconut and Trumper Lime. Both of these pucks a pre-Trumper-lost-their-mind and switched from a potassium palmate first ingredient mix. These soaps are a good as the new formulation is bad. Coconut smells more like a coconut oil than a copper tone tanning lotion.

Barely-scratched tub arrived on All Hallows Eve for $7.80-shipped . . . which seems like a scary-good treat.
