First Line Shave - Life & Death
I'm not going to propose anything this month. What has been suggested so far looks great to me! Problem is, there can only be one.
I'm going to nominate two soaps -- one which has lost the first couple of times, and one that I just have a sample of (for now) that I really like.
- Barrister & Mann - Roam Two
- Stirling Soap Co. - Oro Valley
Oro Valley is super intriguing to me.
I've been trying to spread the word even though I've only used it once. wallygator was interested in it and I talked him into buying a sample, and it sounds like it's on @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social's shopping list, too.
It's just a dupe, of course, but hey. Good is good.
Yeah, I was thinking that I definitely need more soaps ;-)
It's one of Rod's personal favourite dupes, too.
Barrister and Mann - Lavanille
I nominate again Narcisse by Le Père Lucien
The scent notes for Narcisse look really intriguing.
The scent is one of the best I have!
