New Tallow Base for Eufros/JabonMan Shaving Soaps

[jphelan81]

Mine were just shipped, but Correos has already started messing up it seems and Manuel has not received the usual tracking code per email. I’m sure it’ll be here eventually - have a few other tubs to chew through anyway...

Same thing happened to me, hopefully looking at a few weeks.

How do you like Argos? Is the scent strong? Do you find the new base improved?

It's nice, I wouldn't say it's an overly strong scent, it's quite a sweet scent to my nose. It's been a couple of years since I tried eufros so unsure on difference with new base, my feeling is there is not a massive difference, it's quality.

How long did it take again for these?

 

[Optometrist]

Four weeks and four days, Chris. Unbelievable. Is typically five/six days from Barcelona.

Wow! It was just stuck in the postal system? I want to get some soon but think I’ll wait a few months for things to hopefully clear up (may be wishful thinking).

Not exactly sure, Chris. Tracking showed it leaving Spain on 16th June, then showed in Langley last Sunday, where it's been until yesterday.

Absolutely do, Lu, with Sirio being my favourite. The chamomile note is more pleasant, less medicinal, than Kronos and the violet is not overly strong. With sandalwood, it's a beautiful mix.

Is Sirio close to anything else we know, David?

Pretty unique, I'd say, Martin. Nothing comes to mind.

I ordered Sirio as soon as I smelt the sample, it's superb.

Does Manuel do any scents that are more on the sweet side of things?
