Fantastic! If I may ask, what does Diver Down smell like and how does the soap perform? Can you compare it to something we all might be familiar with? Thanks in advance.

Saturday morning: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Gillette day 11 Master Soap Creations Deep Blue SS Bull Dog Moisturizer Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick Bleu de Chanel AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP Fernando is a true soap genius in every way - his Deep Blue is a prime example of his skill and knowledge - a beautiful scent which is based on Diesel Blue, the tallow formula gives this soap such fantastic lather which is so thick, rich, slick, and protective, not to mention how great the skincare is. The Bull Dog moisturizer works perfectly as a balm, and to me no other fragrance comes even close to the Bleu de Chanel. Three passes gave me an absolutely splendid BBS shave! Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me the best description is of something like an Old Spice scent. I’m not great with nuances of scents but would say if you like Old Spice, you would probably enjoy this. I thoroughly enjoyed it this morning. The soap quality is great. I used the older base, not the CK6, but they both are fantastic. Some will swear CK6 is much better, but for me they are about the same. They are vegan, but to be honest, I do not miss the tallow in these products. They lather up quick and easy, have a great density, and are very slick. I would say they perform similar to Catie’s Bubbles if you have used their soaps. PAA is one of my favorite brands and I believe they make high quality, enjoyable products.
