My only soap is developing a hole in the middle so I thought I'd stock up.

  • Haslinger Schafmilch Rasierseife: I saw it on a post on here a while ago and it stuck into my head.
  • Saponificio Varesino Argania: I heard they last a long time, I really hope so for the price! Greg praised them in his videos if I remember correctly. I know nothing of scents so I just read them all and narrowed it down to a few based on vibes. Then I chose Argania because the picture with the tree looked the coolest...
  • The Goodfellas' Smile Shibusa 2: An affordable option to try a soap with tallow.
  • Osma tradition Pierre D'Alun: I didn't have any yet and since I am a straight razor shaver there are enough opportunities to use one ๐Ÿ˜…
  • Saponificio Bignolic Vetiver: A bath soap, just a small preparation for mothers day when that comes.
  • They nicely gave me 5 "Tatra platinum" DE blades. I don't have a DE, maybe I'll give it to a friend.

I smelled the Argania and it does smell really nice indeed. My next shave is on Sunday, I am excited to try it. I probably wont open the other two at least until I emptied my current soap.
