    I have never tried a Dr. Jon’s soap, but I like the tub cover art.

  After two days of not shaving, a knocked off the stubble – which is very satisfying. Even though some may hate it, I really like Electric Sheep: great scent, and great base.

  After seeing u/_walden_ use Cherry Pipe yesterday, I thought I would try the only soap that I have with a scent close to it. This was my first time using Cherie Tobacco (from a sample), and I quite liked it. It came across as a very nice cherry scent with mid and base notes that kept it from being too sweet and fruity. I was looking for a cherry-sweet pipe tobacco scent but I did not get the hit of tobacco I was looking for. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

    Sounds familiar! I wonder if they use the same pre-blend.

      Shannon, the owner of Elysian, says that she does the soap formula completely by herself (pretty good, btw) and, together with a perfumer, she creates her scents. Her company has only been around since Covid, so I imagine that it is only economically practical to start with pre-blends.

      A bit of a rant. [ Us ancient types do this ]

      I’ve had this sample for a long time but have not been able to get past the name; Cherie Tobacco. I think this is an attempt to add class to a cherry pipe tobacco scent by using a French word; chérie. But … chérie means dear when addressed to a woman, not cherry. And Shannon didn’t use l’accent aigu. The label art shows cherries and tobacco. Then there’s the use of the English word, tobacco. A cool French name, one Chris at Caties Bubbles might use, is Tabac Cerise. “Cherie Tobacco” is a little like the American phrase “Part Deux” (meaning deuxième partie) that’s not really French.

      I’m tagging @PorkButtsNTaters666 and @djundjila to correct me where necessary.

    His beard, alone, has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body.

    Stay woodsy my friend.

    I’ll have to try one of those frame backs at some point.

      You should. I think they’re neat and same with their history. Definitely try one with Swedish steel, though, I bet some old Sheffield steel would feel great too.
