So I just had to sit with all these and give it a smell. I can already rule out some, but others I am really interested in. 1. Stirling Glacial Wintergreen - I can't decide how I feel about it. It definitely has a scent... 2. Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood - I'm a sucker for vanilla for sure. Definitely trying it. 3. Tennessee Whisker Cedarwood - It's definitely woodsy. Not so sure it's my scent. 4. Razorock Classic - This one disappointed me the most. I heard a lot about Razorock products and it just kind of smells like wax to me. 5. B&M Bay Rum - Yes! For sure. 6. Tobs - Eton College - Very nice scent. It's light. I think I like it. 7. Mitchell's - I know its beloved. I just don't really dig the scent. 8. Williams Mug - Similar to above. Maybe it'll grow on me. 9. Col. Ichabod Conk - I'm bizarrely intrigued. 10. Derby Lemon - uhm.,.I don't know if I'm a lemon guy. 11. Enveloped Ice Samples - I'll have to try them wet. I can't really smell anything from them at this stage. 12. Unmarked puck in zip-lock - Beautiful flowery scent. Not for me. 13. Northern Moss - Similar scent to Tiki Anyway, I'm super excited about all this! I love Proraso Green for a lighter shave, and Chiseled Face Cryogen for a real blast. Aside from tiki, that's all I've tried so I can't wait to dig in.
Great first impressions! I enjoyed reading them. Good luck with your sampling and have fun! Keep us posted.
The box is ready to move on! @zoltetov has enjoyed it and will be sending to @whiteboy_cannon next. After CJ will be @bcannon87.
Any keepers, @zoltetov ? Any winners or losers? At this point, there are certainly some top soaps in there.
Sorry about the lack of follow up. I got the box in time for matthew, so that kind of threw a wrench in things here in central florida, but we escaped with just a hair cut. Feel horrible for the NC folks. Anyway, on to my thoughts! Actually, you know what? I really ended up liking the Williams Mug. It grew on me. Has a clean barbershop feel to it. I'm trading it out for the tiki set sail. I also love the B&M bay rum so I'll be buying that. The one I really thought I'd love is the Sterling Vanilla Sandalwood. I like it, but its one of those things where I got tired of the scent by the end of the shave. I love vanilla, but apparently in smaller doses! This is a great set of soaps going around and I'm thrilled I got to participate. Thanks so much! The box moves on tomorrow!
@whiteboy_cannon is next. Then: NickMach007 After NickMach007 the box will come back to me. I'll do some sampling and then organize the second pass-around. Depending on when the box gets to me I may wait until just after the new year to send it back out so it doesn't get mixed up and bogged down with the holidays.
@NickMach007 - are you ready to receive the box after CJ? bcannon87 is going to forgo his turn this time around. So @whiteboy_cannon will send to @NickMach007 when he's done with the box!
ready, willing, and able! Yep, i haven't been commenting a lot, but I've been following along. I'm definitely looking forward to my turn with the box. Just need a heads up when it is headed my way.
Still waiting to give my shipping info. I hope Matthew didn't stall things too much. Be safe east coasters Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I hope everything is ok. After the nationwide box tour passaround going missing...AGAIN... I am always more concerned.
zoltetov has your address from me. He was hoping to send your way around Wednesday of last week. Hopefully it's on the way and will be delivered soon!
I'm in on a couple of passarounds, and it always amazes me the trust and honesty among members. So, I'm hopeful this passaround will be back on track again soon.
