What soap/cream did you use today?

Many years back I picked up a Dr. Jons soap and although it was good, it was not in the category of soaps I liked better.  The scent was Hydra (all the citrus in the world) and I liked that but the lather was just ok.  They have gone through at least one base change since the and I went ahead and picked up Anne Bonney, their bay rum offering.  Well, the scent is a great, solid, bay rum.  Very very nice.  Strength is 7/10 perfection.  Lather would indicate a high-butter low structure affair that gave very nice slickness and cushion.  Three passes and I felt just a bit of tingle from the spices in the mix but nothing uncomfortable. (Cinnamon is muy malo for me) so many bay rums are out even though I love them.  This one thankfully works, smells great, and shaves!  Just what the Doctor ordered.  (See what I did there?). I just realized it was this scent and soap that Gareth used when he started this thread 8/19/2015 and 1860 pages ago.

This maker doesn't seem to come up much on this thread. My experience with them is limited but a friend recently gave me a small sample of the Flowers in the Attic scent and although I've only used it a few times the performance seemed quite good. I recall that he indicated this was one of the first scents released in there new Vol. 3 base and that it was a definite improvement over the first two. Like B & M it looks they are slowly moving over each scent to the new base.

Cologne-Fougère v. (Le Père Lucien) lavender, rosemary, mint, hay, bergamot, green tobacco

This is a light, clean fougère that won’t put any hair on your chest, but it may put a smile on your face. Bergamot and mint sing a nice soprano duet, while hay and tobacco take up the tenor notes. There’s nothing deep, dark, or dirty here here, so the fragrance is fleeting. But while it’s on your cheeks it can make even the drabbest morning feel bright.
