Thread: Fragranced Soaps

To borrow the Olympia beer slogan from 40 years ago, "it's the lather... and a lot more!"

There's probably some CDO* behavior in there, as well; I like my shaving soap/cream to match the EDC/EDT/EDP I'll be using at the end (or at least not fight with it, which is why I recently bought a tin of unscented Simpsons shaving cream -- I can't imagine a scented one that would fit with Caron's Yatagan).

* It's like OCD, but the letters are in proper alphabetical order.

Gentlemen, it is really simple:

Scent does not enhance the soap or the cream's performance. For some shavers, however, the scent enhances the shaving ritual. For some it does not.

I in the main agree with the posts already here, at first all you want is a lather that will help to offset poor technique, but eventualy you just want to try different things, I try to not replecate a scent.if I am buying different brands of soap/ cream, that way I can try 2 new things in one, I have some products that smell fantastic but are not impressive latherwise and vice versa, though taking into account ocdshavers point maybe I have judged products unfairly.
My goal though is to only have one soap and one cream.
But as they are so cheap comparatively, it is hard not to pick up something new when you see it.
All the best
