  This morning was the first warmish morning we’ve had this year, but the cool blast from Rope Swing was still premature. The scent of Rope Swing though is always welcomed. Rawr continued the dandelion note through, along with it’s bright citrus punch.

  Rating: 4.5/5

  Happy to support Summer Break Soaps today. I’m a big fan of Valedictorian. I buy coffee and bar soap from Stirling. Apparently, they sell shaving products too! I suspect I’ll be using some of those later this month ;-)

      I’m enjoying this March Madness soap tournament. We parallel the college basketball tournament that shares the name by publicizing the draw and the seed rankings within that draw. I’ve been wondering about a couple of things:

      • Do you think the outcome on a particular day is influenced by knowing the seed of the soap they are using, and subconsciously trying to pick a winner?
      • What is the variation in participation day-to-day? I imagine some people participate only on days where they own soaps from both manufacturers and can “vote” for their choice, whereas others participate if they own one of the soaps and can “vote” regardless of what the other is.

  I can’t help but feel like I betrayed Stirling, but at the last minute I went with Woodshop and had a great shave.
