    Thank you, Andrew! The Barbon is a citrus scent, very orange to me. It reminds me a little of Florida Water, but doesn't have any spice in it like I get from Florida Water.

    There's one called "Cuppa Joe" (I think that's the title)from Mystic Water Soaps(the "4 Men" section). I'll invest in something from MWS Men next year.

    Still working on finishing off this soap, and will be using it every other shave until it is gone. It started its fourth and final ring of death today. There isn't enough soap left to smoosh it all back to the center anymore. Tried a Sharp Star in the floating head. Neal is right, these are horrible blades. I can help with the collection efforts if anyone one wants to safely dispose of these horrible things. (Serious question, is the coating on these the same as the Red, White, and Blue Ripera Supersteels? There are a lot of blades I can't get a comfortable shave from, and the coating on those and these seems to actually agree with me.) Three passes, a little chasing, and the baby came home. No blood, no irritation, and the Alum was almost entirely quiet. Almost an epic shave.

    Great picture, Adam! That soap is just barely holding on at this point.

    Thank you, Clint! Great photo today in your SOTD.

    Excellent report, Joseph! I quite enjoy your posts.

    Thank you, Andrew! This Iced Pineapple sample is hanging on for dear life. Probably three or four more shaves in there.

    Thank you, Bruce!
