On the other hand I can't believe that the more I'm using the AOS Oud, the more I'm liking it!!!

I don't find Wholly Kaw oud subtle, but it's not an in your face oud like AOS, which I also like. Few soaps are pure oud, and most are blends. I think my favorite blend is LPL Oud-Santal, but I do like the scent of Wholly Kaw and AOS. Most of the Wholly Kaw scents are on the subtle side. I just pre-ordered Oleo Soapworks Xocolatl, a dark Mexican chocolate with cardomom ad clantro, which sounds interesting.

I would love to know what "oud" is an acronym for.

Oud is the scent from Agarwood.

How have you been drying your brush?

I was taught to rinse the soap then shake the water out and then hang the brush
bristles down and air dry.

Water... crazy hot boiling water, I hope not.

Attachment 276805...it's been here all it life....like they say ....it ain't my first rodeo

I could see a cheap Kent Brush ,giving up the Ghost...but not a 200.00 Simpson !
