    Yes, you read that right. After nine years, Dr. Jon's is closing up shop. To say I'm bummed about this is a bit of an understatement. The company was initially based in my home state of Ohio before moving to New York, and I still have some pucks of the 1803 scent pucks and aftershaves. My favorite scent is the Blacl Label, a fruity pipe tobacco scent.

    I hope somebody convinces him to hand over the name and line, because I really would hate to see this label go away forever. What's your favorite soap from this company?

    I like dark, complex scents.

    Bandit and Lime (from their essentials line) are my favorites as is the Dracula line of their Halloween trio.

    Savannah Sunrise... Excellent scent. V3 was a good base. That said, I'm not surprised to see artisans going under considering how saturated the market has become.

    I missed getting the Gold Label. I have a tin and companion aftershave splash of Black Label, which is really great as scents go, but not necessarily for those who aren't partial to fruity aromas.
