Adventus Day 14
Today was a really nice soap from Chiseled Face. Slick base with a good scent throughout. I paired it with 7 Doubloons and randomly chose the fragrance, Madame Chouteau.
Today’s satchel held a variety of frag samples (Indigo, Alive, Damocles) from HoM, a sample of Valley of Ashes by Southern Witchcrafts, and a sample of Prince Edward Island by Shannon’s Soaps.
Have a good one!

I’m glad to see someone else who appreciates the CFG base.

I really appreciate the standard CFG base too (I am totally unfamiliar with the Silk soaps and have heard mixed opinions). Especially GTB is great to use. I’d compare it to Stirling: artisan soap without fancy sounding ingredients, totally easy to whip up a slick lather. Or in short: solid performers who get the job done fast and good.
