    Don't know if this was answered or not but I have both and the Christmas Eve would be closest to Ozark Mountain. I have a Christmas Eve sample and really wish I had gotten the AS and Balm. Smells great!

    I wonder if anyone has tried the Eucalyptus Mint soap.

    Back with Sandpiper A.S. tomorrow :). And if this Saturday is as warm as they claim it to be, I just might do a Wintergreen shave soap. That could be an audible at the sink of scrimmage.

    Not I. I'm not a fan of Eucalyptus

    I shaved with the Agar tonight. Rod really built a nice scent with that one. I think I will try a sample of the AS and see if it gets spousal approval.

    In your video, I hope you'll be saying, "This is just like Shulton, baby!!"

    Many indications are that it is quite like the original. That's what prompted me to strongly consider it for NB18.

    Like I said before my shave felt like I left the MITA soap in the freezer overnight. Oh wait, did I see the word "Glacial" written on the container? No wonder I froze so much!

    I've got a sample of the BnM Spice, and I'm liking the Stirling scent more. I'll try to sniff them side by side, you know, for science

    Reminds me, when I said earlier I might use Wintergreen Saturday, it's a Glacial, of course.

    Has anyone tried Coconut Lime? I'd be getting the splash to go with a Mike's coconut soap that I have. The Mike's soap is not a sweet coconut scent at all.

    I have the soap. More coconut than lime, a little sweet, but not much. Not sugary, just coconutty. Maybe reminds a guy of a pina colada or sun tanning oil a little bit. It fit really well with Iced Pineapple. I like it a lot, and it is probably my wife’s favorite.

    Thanks, Jared. That sounds right up the alley for the Mike's Coconut. It reminds me of old school tanning oil. Sounds like they would be a good match!

    Update: Mountain Man body soap is winding down. It has yet to break in half, but it's close. 4 weeks of use is a good ballpark for me. on the bath soap. Granted, my bars usually sit around for of month and cure before I use them.

    Interestingly, I watched a YouTube video of Rod's old shop. In it he mentions the wrapper for the soap is breathable to allow it to cure while wrapped. Makes sense to me...and seems to work.

    So mail call today. This is what the wife ordered a few days ago. My son wanted the Christmas Eve set. So she got him the soap and balm. She meant to get the splash but got the balm instead. At least we will get to see what the balm is like now. She ordered the Frankincense & Myrh for me. She forgot to get the matching aftershave, lol. And then the body butter and pumpkin spice lotion and bar soaps are for her and my daughter. They threw in the Eucalyptus sample I believe. Are great scents that all 4 of us will enjoy.
