Mar 7, 2025 - MM25: Talent Soap Factory

Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot
Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [1]
Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Save the Earth - Soap (Vegan)
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Splash
Fragrance: Lalique - Encre Noire A L’Extreme - Eau de Parfum

It finally dawned on me this morning which scent Save the Earth reminds me of. I paired it with Hallows just to be sure. If Hallows is an earthy, Fall scent, then StE is a Springtime cousin.

Happy Friday!

I’ve seen the love for TSF this month and do not own any of their soaps. You’ve provided great advice in the past, which of their fragrances to you recommend that I start with?

  There are several I would recommend:
  
  Trash Panda (Oak Aged Bourbon, Honeyed Figs, Plum, Wild Currant, Sweet Dates, Date Sugar, Vanilla Bean, Brown Sugar Cubes & Vetiver)
  
  Wolf Mother (wine, tobacco flower, whiskey, cocoa, marshmallow, sandalwood, cedar, amber, patchouli)
  
  Moon Shadow (jasmine, tea, sandalwood).
  
  Moon Shadow is my favorite. Then there are some of their scents that can get really wild, and in a good way:
  
  Toki (corn husk, citrus, apricot, rose, orchid, herbs, radish leaf, oak wood)
  
  Vandal (Spray Paint, Melon)
  
  Frankie Mermaid (grape soda, bubble gum, sugar, tonka bean & wormwood)
  
  So it depends on how adventurous you want to get. Unfortunately, none of these scents are available on the Etsy store right now. I’m assuming he’s having the 50% sale to make room for new/returning scents. That is kind of his MO.
  
  If you are looking at buying something during their sale, I would just check out the descriptions of each and see what sounds interesting.

    I’m in no rush. Trash Panda and Moon Shadow look particularly interesting to me.
