    JR Reyes I scream for....chicken wings??

    Congrats....and welcome to SAD (soap acquisition disorder)..lol.

    Catie's Bubbles and Tiki are two really good performers. That Grand Cru smells just like grape soda....it's crazy.

    Please share your thoughts after they arrive and when you use them.

    I have yet to try Zi Pep, but hear a lot of good things about it.

    The Zi Pepino is a hard soap to beat. I do love some others too but I always go back to it. For me the scent is nice but the lather is awesome. I have 4 just in case they discontinue it lol

    Tonsorial parlor from catie's bubbles was delivered today. Smell is nice. Can't wait to see what everyone is raving about. Tomorrow, however, is for MdC Fourgere.

    How would you describe the scent of the Tonsorial parlor? I have it in my wish list.

    I ordered Cattie's LPV today with a Merkur blade held to my wrist. I swear every time I try a new soap, I just can't tell much difference from most of my my other soaps. Everything is so good, I just can't tell the diff. At least this is an 8 oz. tub. Yea, that's it. It's an 8 oz. tub. That'll make it different. Help me.

    Catie's Le Piment de la Vie is one of the most complex scents I have tried, so far. Enjoy!

    Grape was the best choice, Most were sold out. I don't care for mint. Do have a puck of Joshua tree Spiced rum? from ebay, will give that a shot later tonight.

    Subtle flowery citrus. Not really manly but then not feminine. I have not tried it but do look forward to it

    Going with Joshua Tree Soap Works "Spiced Bay Rum" tonight. I like the aroma, seems a little chunky.

    Tried the Grand Cru tonight, It does smell like welch's grape soda. Due to my limited knowledge of soaps, I'm unable to review it like others. IMO, it is a great soap, now i have two soaps i enjoy using. Im thankful to all who recommended it!
