What soap/cream did you use today?

Some scents that most people dislike are very appealing to others.  For example many find the smell of a new boar brush off putting but I absolutely relish a new boar.  Probably kid memories of favorite hogs on the place.  Few love the scent of a skunk but a faint whiff on the morning breeze to me makes for an interesting start of the day.  I have a daughter-in-law who loves the scent of kids morning breath.  Yuck!  Chiseled Face Tar soap is like that for me.  Not a very approachable scent but it holds a lot of memories form me.  The smell of the stovepipe in the tent at the head of Mill Canyon.      Or the quick whiff of a spring breeze through the flue at the cabin.  Building fence with old railroad ties.  Black Sticky Gum Salve my grandma used to make to treat cuts and infections.  Love the scent of tar.  I wish this one was a bit bolder but I’m not complaining.  

A great scent!  Can't believe anyone wouldn't like the scent of pine tar or skunk

BTW, I was able to pick up a sample of Toivo from Groomatorium.  Compared it to the Nordic Shave Co Pine Tar and it's a near exact match

Always love me some Floyd!

Vetiver t. (Mike's Natural Soaps) nutty vetiver

It looks like Mike has moved to Portland. I've been enjoying his soaps since he was in Brooklyn and then Ann Arbor. I guess I better order a new tub  so that I can get one of the new labels to go with all the others.

I'm convinced that Stirling would be in the top tier if they doubled the price.

I see what your saying and this could be part of a broader topic and a thread on it's own but with a slowing market for hobbyist soaps I doubt they would be selling as much. Unlike say razors there is a price that many are willing to pay for soap because at the end of the day it is just that. I imagine it's the same amount of work to the artisan whether they make 2, 4 or 5.8oz pucks so it was a great idea on there part to price it that way to attract people to the brand.

Love the scent on this one

Yes enjoy it as well straight forward and pleasant. I paired it with the budget Pino Sylvestre which I hadn't used in some time.
