Some day you will get the SAD under control. Maybe when you open the cabinet and they keep falling out on your toe. Ha.

I told Mark I feel like I’m in soap menopause. Getting hot flashes shaving due to burn... no longer liking soaps I once loved (Acca Kappa)... It gets old. I’ve got a nice collection of soaps I’ll never use again.

I think I discovered tallow done right, and now everything else is useless lol. I mean Cella has tallow, and an awesome scent, but it just does NOTHING for my shave or skin. What’s going on?!!

Worse still, I’m replacing things I already have that were perfectly great - ie my de collection lol.

It’s kind of exciting, but really irritating too.

Tin tin with another quote. Ha.
When you get tired of those soaps you can ship them to me. I will dispose of them properly for ya at no charge.

I might. Not the chocolate of course. But because I have two DEs i’ll no longer use, I’m actually thinking of buying a couple of inexpensive brushes and making little kits to hopefully entice some non wet shavers. I never give my straights away lol, but getting men even half way there is a noble cause I figure.

I’m in a bit of a better mood because I just got two aftershaves in and neither is offensive! That’s my new standard lol. But seriously, the l’orange is a nice complex scent! It could become my favorite of the three Fine scents I have.

I posted this in your other thread on soaps. Maybe you are coming to the same conclusions.

“I have purged myself of any soaps that don't measure up. I am not persuaded by new soaps. My preference is mainly for a single brand and I stick to it. Venturing beyond into the sea of suds is no longer rewarding. I have found that if they are sealed in a covered container they seem to keep a long time. If the soap is exposed it seems work just fine but the scent may evaporate.”

I was browsing over at B&B, it looks like others have had this issue with Oleo’s that have chocolate scents.

Is chocolate really a thing with shaving soap?
I never would have thought...Don't seem right to me?

Oh well.....The Oleo Pucker is great!

Lol!! Actually I have Acqua di Parma in a cart at one vendor, and Noble Otter in the other. How my shave tomorrow goes with my Acqua di Parma sample, will dictate which cart ill hit up.

I recall a similar issue with Henri and Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars shave soap. I met one of the makers at a meet up who said they had to change their formulation because some men had a reaction to the cedar essential oil they were using. I believe that problem was experienced by Obie who reported it in one of his reviews. I wonder if something similar happened with this product as well.
