Soap Pass-Around 2016 Volume I

Route 66 sounds awesome! Also the Jeeves soap as. I hear great things about them

 

I'd love to try a heavy menthol soap or, in the alternative, just a stronger scented soap. I'll be throwing in the Tiki Set Sail. A very nice scent, but a bit light for my taste.

 

I'll be happy just trying anything that's in the box no apical requests here .

Im good with anything as well...I will be putting a stirling in there, XXX, and im not sure what else yet.

 

@zoltetov have you ever tried Stirling's Glacial Wintergreen. I just got some in a PIF. I'll see about putting a sample size tub in the box when I get it

Hey that was me! Haha. Give everyone the opportunity to freeze their face off

 

I'll probably be adding a tsd soap, London for men type is the scent. Something in it burns my face. But still have the iced Lime tsd soap which my face loves. They perform great

Sounds good, guys! Everyone has good quality items to chip in.

Remember, you can keep a soap if you like it. Just replace it with something of good quality.

Fun stuff! I'm glad we're enjoying the process and anticipating our turns.

 

Thanks! I've never had the pleasure! I can't wait to try it!

 

I don't have anything that fancy to put in but I will throw in some of my favorite stuff

 

I feel bad that I didn't have anything to add to the box. I will be better prepared for round 2.

 

Don't feel bad! It's not a requirement to add anything. I'm glad you got to try them and enjoy some new soaps.

 

The box is on the move. @DaltonGang should have it Wednesday.

Awesome! Thanks Tom. We're doing a great job of keeping the soap box on a good schedule. I'm glad everyone is excited about their turn!

 

I love trying new soaps. I can see some new soaps being ordered, after sampling the pass around box.

 

The soap box arrived this afternoon. My daughter was excited to smell all the soaps. She selected the Col. Conk shave.soap. It's heavy on the citrus, and smells good enough to eat.
I used:
Semogue 1800 Boar brush
Gillette Fatboy on setting 5
Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow blade(15 shaves already on it)
Avon Deep Woods aftershave

The soap loaded well enough, even though its a small container for the brush to get into. The soap face lathered very easily into a very fluffy, and very slick lather. This is the second Col Conk soap I have used, and I'm very impressed with their soaps, so far.
The shave was smooth and a very close, almost BBS shave.
The Avon Deep Woods made the shave feel great, and smell very good. I love the Vintage Avon Aftershaves.

 

The second soap I tried was Barrister & Mann Bay Rum. Although I'm usually now a Bay rum aficionado, this stuff smelled good.
The soap was a decent lathered, and was slick.
I decided to test out some straights I honed, and it provided the necessary protection for the shave.
The shave was finished with Avon Spicy Aftershave.

 

Shave three.
Soap- The Sudsy Soapery Citrus &Bay
Razor- Gold Dollar straight
Brush- Semogue 1305 Boar
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

This soap is my favorite, so far. I like the citrus and bay combination. The soap lathered very easily and was very slick. It provided the necessary protection for the shave.
This might stay with me, unless I have a change of heart.

 

Yes that was one fine scent that one. The slickness was great too. Excellent choice for the keeper.

 

I sent you a PM as well. But, I'd love to join and contribute to the box if the pass around is still open.
Also if I have some smaller sample size soaps, is it ok to add those? I get the, if you take something add something of equal value rule, but I have a few Stirling samples lying around that I'm not using.
Thanks!
