Dropped the ball on this one. These are steps one and two of the Best Leather Progression Ever™ and the cherry on top, Gratiot League Square is sorely missing. I simply forgot and only remembered once I was already on the train. C’est la vie.

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and sugar roasted chestnuts served with a cup of steaming coffee. A warm, super gourmand scent perfect for cold winter evenings by the fire - or anytime you want to remember them.

I have a love/hate relationship with clever code. It’s fun in contests and quizzes, but in production, it’s maintenance poison. Dumb is boring, boring is good.

Unfortunately not. I used to a few years ago, but last year I didn’t participate, and the year before I didn’t finish.
New year, new chance!

I have that coffee soap. Such a funny base: sorry soft dark brown croap mixed with harder little soap spheres.
Enjoyable enough

Oh Reflection! This scent is a recurring mystery to me. It has the tart quality of Weinstrasse, Armonía, and DFTR, but I have no way of describing it, and it flirts with bay, which in more prominent settings makes me nauseous, yet this thing smells good! To add to my confusion, my wife came sniffing me and said “oh, Christmas boy”. I’ve never thought of this as in any way seasonal. I’m going to have to reflect some more on this.

I’m belatedly joining @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social with a Koké shave. This scent is a bit out there, or in his words: “It is like nothing else I’ve ever smelled”, and I’m here for it.
PorkButt’s acquisition made me curious about my own first impression with it. I had forgotten how my wife trashed it as a “rotten chewing gum” scent at first. Now I get compliments when I use it.
- Comment on Mailcall 5 days ago:
Yeah, it’s a wild one 😆
My wife couldn’t stand it at first sniff (“rotten chewing gum”) but came around to liking it on me

I don’t use vetiver scents often enough. They are delightful. I’m not a big fan of aftershave balms, but every once in a while feels OK.

Nice fruity-boozy shave with one of my prettiest razors. I use it rarely because I want to preserve it. Who or what I’m preserving it far is not entirely clear, though 😅

Yup, turns out he sent it out, it’s just that his website doesn’t update order statuses 🎉
- Comment on Wednesday SOTD Thread, November 26th, 2025 (#897) 1 week ago:
No idea. The envelope showed no sign of damage, and i would have expected simple oxidation to manifest more uniformly. A mystery.
Luckily, it hasn’t messed with latherability

Thanks! It’s odd, I ordered mine immediately when the link was published, but my order hasn’t even shipped yet

First time tying a soap from our u/TheStallionPartThree, and this base is solid! It lathers easily, hydrates gradually, and produces slick lather. On the first try!
The scent was fairly faint to my nose, but I’m dragging a stubborn cold with me so that might just be me. Kudos to the Stallion!
