What soap/cream did you use today?

I'm drawn to off-the-beaten-path scents and from the first sniff I knew I would have to give Razormaster's Toivo a go. Don't get me wrong, I'm no sadist. I don't want to use disgusting scents just because they are available but neither do I shy away from scents that are a bit less approachable. Toivo is tar, but not roofing tar or the tar scent of the road crew patching potholes. This is tar from wood. As I lathered I was taken back to many a hunting camp and the scent of the stovepipe when getting it up. This is the scent of a dead branding fire. This is the scent of moms cook stove after a long winter and the first freshets of Spring bring a gust of moist air down the flue. Mmmmm. I wouldn't choose this scent if I were putting on a tuxedo but I wouldn't hesitate to wear it to an old cowboy's funeral because he would know all about that scent too. Razormaster is out of Finland I believe and wow am I impressed. Cushion and slickness are on point. A tick of a downgrade for post shave but as you know, that is never a make or break for me as I always follow with some raw Shea butter. (To keep my youthful good looks). I can see myself purchasing a full tub of this one. The scent lingers but hugs close to the skin. I'm the only one that can smell it post shave.

I have the Jojoba version (CB) and I really like the scent. A nice spicy, woodsy rose.

Have you tried both? I wonder if the scents are a clone or if the base inadvertently changes them a little.

I haven't tried both...but that's a good thought My guess is that is changes a little but, maybe not enough to make a big difference.
