    Stonyloam its not a momnet of weakness , Its the cycle of the AD's you read some info on shave products buy samples , report your opinion , someone else falls over the edge . buys some stuff,,,,,by the way im on the edge on the Mystic,you may just be the one to push me into ordering some.........................If it make you feel better

    I completely agree. Mike's is slick stuff and that makes for a great shave for me.

    Something else I like about Mike's soaps is the way he cuts the bar. Each bar has the shape of brass knuckles that enables you to easily hold it in your hand while you brush load, but I like to just (wait for it Brian Sharp...) rub the bar directly on my face and then face lather. The shape of the bar makes it very easy to do. that.

    Neolithium I am Canadian, eh

    Sweet mother of god. When you all mentioned it was inexpensive, I didn't think it was that well priced. Hmmm, I may have to order some soon just to try it out. Those bars look good!

    knocking somebody in the chops with Mike's soaps just doesn't have the same effect, though. ;)

    Yeah, but imagine the phycological defeat they'd have when you hit them with it while your face is fully lathered with the wonderful scents wafting into his newly busted nose!

    Day 4... Peppermint & Rosemary

    Peppermint & Rosemary very nice scent.
    The peppermint is the first thing you notice.
    Then the rosemary finishes it off with a nice herbal note.
    Has a bit of cooling effect (real or imagined) ;)
    I have to remember to have patience buildin g lather but I am well rewarded.

    Day 5... Pine & Cedarwood

    Pine & Cedarwood is very nice.
    The pine scent is the primary scent with the warm undertone of cedar.

    Still struggling with the lathering part.
    But, tomorow is another day. ;)

    I just got my Barbershop scent today along with a sample of the peppermint rosemary. Both scents smell amazing!

    Day 6... Lime

    Lime is very nice.
    The lime scent is very limey... :rofl:

    It lathered up well.
    As long as you have patience and add water s-l-o-w-l-y!

    Well thanks alot guys........cost me money again!!!!!! I should have my soap by the end of the week. I was really getting concerned about some sort of 12 year Armageddon that would maybe deplete my soap supply by about half!!!

    I just received the barber shop scent. Haven't used it since it's vintage week. It smells amazing. I can't wait to give it a go.

    Day 7... Lavandin & Eucalyptus

    Light lavander scent with a background of eucalyptus.

    I really like lavander but not with eucalyptus.

    On the bright side... I got good lather!

    Final thoughts... (these are mine alone)
    The lather is very good :)
    The scents are not my favorites :ashamed001:
    As hard as I tried... I just don't like the scents. :(

    Apparently its some wierd thing with my computer where I have to press enter while I click the link. I have to wait until after my BDay to order (in case its wrapped up in the closet) or I will sleep on the couch for a week. After tomorrow Im placing my order :)

    Out of Barbershop scent? NOOOOOO!!!! I guess I'll have to keep my eye on the site. :(

    I love the Barbershop scent. Also, the fact that this guy makes the soaps in his kitchen makes it even cooler. Plus, you'll be helping a small time artisan go to the big time.
