Gentleman’s Nod - Musashi

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.

[–] walden 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

  1. Barrister & Mann - Roam Two
  2. 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.

[–] gcgallant 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I was thinking that I definitely need more soaps ;-)

[–] djundjila 2 points 2 months ago

It's one of Rod's personal favourite dupes, too.

Barrister and Mann - Lavanille

I nominate again Narcisse by Le Père Lucien

[–] sahenders 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The scent notes for Narcisse look really intriguing.

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 2 months ago

The scent is one of the best I have!
