What soap/cream did you use today?

Barrister & Mann, Cheshire (Excelsior)

I love this soap, Adrian. The combination of bergamot and clarysage is so uplifting and relaxing at the same time. This could very easily be my desert island soap.

I may have located the Cheshire Stag….how he managed to get here in the U.K. is beyond my imagination however updates coming this weekend! Yours truly is ON the case!

I liked and wondered and pondered about this soap for way too long.  Stirling is a great performer and the blue appearance of this flavor was appealing.  So…….I bought it and it’s………….pleasant.  It’s nice and unassuming.  It’s not offensive.  Its performance is predictably good.  But as far as scents that speak to me, this one offers no mental trips or adolescent reminders, or noggin-tickling notes.  It just IS.  Now I get it, some gents love this flavor and by no means am I insinuating their olfactory apparatus is broken.  Live like you gotta live baby!  But Island Man is a soap that if a son comes to steal from the horde I’d be happy for him to choose this one.  In fact I may have to nudge one of them to drag it home.  I’ve too many others that tickle me to spend time with something that doesn’t.  That wee brush in the big green tub though, felt like a dingy in the middle of the Indian Ocean.  

Exactly. Same erspective

You people just don’t like Snow-Cones, end of story

The Holy Black - Cracklin Rosie (Secret Stash)

"Woodsmoke and Rose, this was made as request for some wetshavers in Texas and we are bringing it back for the secret stash, surprisingly masculine, you have to smell it to believe it."

I agree 100%. One of may favorites. I recall reading somewhere that Cheshire is also Will's (B&M) favorite scent in his own line.
