  13. I resally wanted to like that Chiseled Face, but in the end I found I wasn't too thrilled with mixing Wild West and Barbershop scents. I didn't HATE it, but I got too excited aabout in the first place;.

    Soap :Razorock Lavender- great lavender scent with excellent lather qualities.(discontinued)
