What soap/cream did you use today?

Latha (Barrister & Mann) ★★★☆☆ lavender, oakmoss, heliotrope

This is the original scent of the now defunct Latha line of soaps. There's one dose left in my sample tublet, but I can't bring myself to finish it off. The scent just doesn't work for me. The heliotrope is so sweet the puck smells like bubblegum. When you make up some suds, the oakmoss surfaces, but it's not strong enough to balance the cloying sweetness of the flowers. If only the moss were a little bolder, we could have had something like a floral chypre.

The lather was very good, though, and I'm sorry to see this excellent and still affordable line of soap discontinued.

RR SMdF soap

This really makes a nice slick lather. Plenty of cushion. The soap looks almost crystalline before you get after it with the brush. And the scent - oh my - very similar to the SMN Tobacco Tuscano cream. I have uber lathered these 2 previously. Really overkill though. This soap gets it done. Rare for me at least to think or say - but this soap can be good all year. .... Maybe a stretch in the dead of winter, but I live in Dallas. [Image: cd43768b7ac52965fbe5f54b07fb811c.jpg]

WCS - Gatsby

I'm finding that much like PAA soaps, Gatsby doesn't take long to load. Unfortunately for me, I forgot about that and loaded for a good 20 seconds this morning. The next 10 minutes were spent face-lathering Smile

Always wondered if this is the (exact) same scent as RR Don Marco... Any ideas?

Sorry I have never tried RR Don Marco.
