What soap/cream did you use today?

I’ve got lots of milled soap pucks but have ignored them for awhile.  Why?  The last few shaves I’ve focused on those hard pucks and have realized how much I enjoy the process of putting a brush to a soap.  So much so that I decided to open two brand new old stock soaps.  Geo F Trumper Coconut and Trumper Lime.  Both of these pucks a pre-Trumper-lost-their-mind and switched from a potassium palmate first ingredient mix.  These soaps are a good as the new formulation is bad.  Coconut smells more like a coconut oil than a copper tone tanning lotion.

Looks familiar

That soap formula seems like such a mish-mask of aromas it is hard to see them working well together. Do lavender and leather really go together?

I am curious as to what was your experience with the scent.

The amber is the strongest note. I like this scent, so it works for me. I haven't decided about the soap base yet.

Cheshire (Barrister & Mann) bergamot, sage, patchouli
Shave 4 ・ 106 g left

This is my second tub of Cheshire. The first, which I bought back in 2014, smelled like lemon and pine. At least that’s what my untrained nose made of it then. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about scents. Now when I smell Cheshire, I get bergamot and lots of patchouli. I mean a lot of patchouli. The sage is clary sage, not cooking sage. It has a mellow hay-like aroma. Altogether these three notes make a fresh, well grounded accord that may be Will’s best original work.
