    I have about 60% of your T1 selection in my rotation and just added CF Lime and CS 88 in fancy aluminium bowl as I was on the fence and your post drove me to it. (At least that is what I will tell the boss if she finds out ) 😀 Now to add the other 5 I don't have. Will try get rid of the T2 soaps to make it less obvious
    Hahaha.... As a veteran collector, I found an equal amount of hilarity and truth in your words.

    Certainly mostly true, as a recent convert to straight and safety razor shaving I have a puzzled Mrs as for 20 or so years of using aerosol I am now like a kid in the sweet shop trying to make up for lost time I have caught the mysterious soap and razor acquisition disorders 😀😇
    Straight razor shaving is like motorcycling both require full attention and continuos learning and honing of skills...

    Those are not to be spoken about either. I definitely need the drawer full of hones!

    Reporting back after trying the Mickey Lee Soapworks 'Grand Havana' and i will say it is amazing. The aroma from this soap is truly remarkable. Kinda sweet and spicy at the same time. I was very happy with the way it lathered. I did 4 passes tonight (usually 2) just so i could keep lathering up with this stuff.

    I am pretty impressed with all the Mickey Lee Soaps i have tried.

    Next on my list is the Castle Forbes Lime Oil Shave Cream.

    Glad you liked it. I am always hesitant to say YES just because I like the scent. The lather is top shelf for sure. I go introduced to that soap when it was made the first time and had been stalking them ever since. The after shave is a great compliment if you like to match soap and AS.
    Your only as good as your last hone job.
