Thread: Samples from Phrank

But as far as the Tabac, I thought I'd just order another replacement puck of Tabac, and that way I could send you half the puck I had...I personally, think Tabac is easily a Tier 1 soap, covers all the fundamentals, so good to have a far chunk of it.

As far as the Krokos...in my opinion....meh....didn't floor me, was OK.

I also meant to send you some XPEC, but there's always next time...soaps...I got 'em...Phranky darn loves those soaps and creams and croaps....

Oh MY! XPEC AND Acqua Di Parma! Lemme get to stirring!

I love samples as you can give it several chances before you like or dismiss it.
Might like to try those someday!

Pretty good for now, though! I do appreciate this opportunity, Andrew!

Tabac is in my top tier too, and it smells like the 70s to me. Which I dig..
The krokos is a really good lather, but the scent is mah IMO..almost non existent.
Now the Crumiro,, it smells pretty damn yummy, again IMO.
Think I need some tartar cups.....

Well...it IS Houston Texas here. Heart of old Mexico!

Good luck with the samples.

Gave the Osma Alum a go this morning. I am not so proficient using the scuttle, so I usually face-lather.
It was quite thin to begin with, got pretty good for just a short while, bubbled and fizzed-out.
I dumped the hot water out of the chamber and began again with cold water. Did much better, so I think it is one of those I needed more product and cool water. I did like the light scent and it is tingly-feeling.
I will begin differently next time and see if I can get it to go better.

How do you lather it, Phrank?

Went with the Tabac yesterday. I can see how it is lots of guys old standby. Lathers easily. smells alright.
provides good glide. Sorta like Williams with glycerine added!
Good stuff.

Now that is a low blow comparing Tabac to Williams.

I figured I would stir the pot with that, Bob! Remember, I said Williams WITH Glycerine added, now!
