    I had a little help picking out my SOTD today. Was getting the youngest ready for bed last night and had to put a few things away. She was looking at the shave soap and I decided to try something. I let her sniff each one to pick my soap for the morning. She wrinkled her nose at a lot of the scents I thought she would like (Catie's LPV, Ocean Breeze, Stirling Glacial Wintergreen, Taylor of Bond Street Sandalwood, etc) and ended up like Stirling Ben Franklin. I was surprised. It is int he category of "old man scent", which I like. She helped me unwrap it and mash it into one of my empty containers. I shave before she wakes up so she didn't get to smell the lather but it was still fun. I will probably shave with it tomorrow so she can see it.

    Also this was my 3rd shave with a loosie Voskhod blade that was included in one of my bundle purchases. I will post more in another post.

    The sniff test...and the result with my newly acquired bowl (yet another upcoming post)...

    IMO, Ben Franklin smells like a root beer float, which may help explain why she liked it. Sounds like a great way to pick out your soap!
