Saturday clear out

[Fozzie Bear]

I have a tub of Apricus on its way. The Magnum is a fantastic scent.

Parma Violet king of scents along Magnum & Cola.

There wouldn’t have been a magnum shave soap without me King Randy. I don’t talk about it though.

Any eau de toilette with the same scent?

Sadly not but it is based on Molton Brown Templetree. I think it's only a body wash but have a look on the website.

I love my Autumn Ash and was planning Druantia for my next!

It's a big wide world mate, we all enjoy different things. The soap it'self was excellent. Scent, nah.

I agree, no point using a soap with a scent you don't like or find unpleasant, regardless of performance. In these current times the bin is the best option.

I've also had a bit of a clear out.

Tossed these two empty boxes in the recycling bin.

Time to send the DR Harris in the bin as well.

My mistake was that I grated the puck when I couldn't lather it, some years ago.

I will try to lather it once more, and if I can't get density, then off it goes.

Using the Marie Kondo system, I wonder how many soaps she would recommend keeping.

I have started to declutter. There is no logic for "standing in social distancing lines" at the post office for no profit on sale. Unless, the soap has some temporary value for "aroma therapy" uses, I will clean the tub and properly recycle.

Yes I have tried to like Haslinger but it just doesn’t seem to provide the protection I need. It lathers easily and i don’t mind the scents but last week after trying the sage and getting a sub par shave again I binned it.

I still have the Sheep’s milk, which seems to work a little better and a few other pucks but I’d rather use the empty soap container I had it in for Soap that actually works for me!

 

[Holyzeus]

I keep reducing the hoard and then it builds back up. I reckon 75% of soaps I buy now are a disappointment which really isn’t good.

 

[Wayne]

At the end of the day it is just Soap. They can add as many expensive oils and perfumes as they like but they are just soaps. When you look at MWF, Tabac, Haslinger, Palmolive. All fantastic soaps that perform wonderfully and have been around years. @Holyzeus is right, most of them disappoint.

If shave performance is not up to snuff and the scent is passable I use unloved shave soaps in the shower.
