And, what do you think of the soap, itself. I’m looking forward to trying Old Strathcona on the 18th (smush received, btw, thanks!).

Glad to hear that the soap arrived. The soap base creates a low structured, very slick lather. The proto-lather can be a bit stringy at first if you start with your brush on the drier side. I think the scent profile of DSP is much more about being deep in the forest and less about the night sky. The invigorating evergreens and oak moss are much more prominent, while the lavender helps to round the scent out.

I liked everything I read on the MacDuffs website. I’m looking forward to trying some of their product.
