I've been using CBL Tonsorial 'Roasted Oatmeal Stout' for a week now. This simple soap easily makes a great lather and the tonsorial base is purported to be a clone of 'Vintage Williams'. I've never tried vintage Williams so I can't make a judgement as to that, but others have said that it compares favorably.
The scent is simply scrumptious, like fresh baked oatmeal cookies. The second ingredient listed is Guenness Extra Stout.
If you remember, please bring a bit to Texas.

Or I can just mail you a sample Pete.
Whatever you would like to do Victor.Quote:

I just looked for your address. I guess you need to send it again in a PM.
Just got a more than generous sample of the soap in the mail from my friend Victor.
I'll tell ya....when I opened the envelope I wanted to slather it all over my face and take a bite out of it.
The scent is absolutely killer!!
Can't wait till tomorrow's shave.
Thank you Victor!!

Introducing the newest CBL Tonsorial soaps ...the Banned Edition
ROCK THE CASBAH
V FOR VETIVER
INSURGENT
CLUB CBL Riot Stick (Shave Stick -approximately 60-70grams)
The BANNED Edition soaps are intended to be more vibrantly scented, visually appealing (photogenic) and worth talking about everywhere that hasn’t banned the mention of CBL Soaps. …so CBL’s absence from a particular forum will be noticed.
There are 4 BANNED Edition soaps. Each soap features a bold label design and name, perfect for those Shave Of The Day photos on your favorite forum(s) and instagram. BANNED Edition soaps also feature bolder scents you’ll really want to talk about. …and of course they perform like no other classic shave soap out there.
Yowza, shipping to Canada is crazy.
his soaps are worth it though but contact chris at his site maybe there is some alternative he could do, he's a really nice guy....Quote:

The scent is absolutely intoxicating.
For $10.00 this is no less than a home run...
So much so that I just ordered 2 on their website.
When I first looked on their site, about a week ago, this soap wasn't available so I'm thinking it might be a limited edition.
Get 'em while you can.
Fantastic bang for the buck indeed!! (Did I mention the scent??)

Sir Fougere is supposed to be a clone of the Sir Irish Moos scent. I have not tried either, but I'm curious.Quote:

All of the CBL line is great.
According to the CBL website this is the description of SIR Fougere. SIR Fougere is an aromatic green mossy scent inspired by the legendary Sir Irisch Moos. Aromatic, woody and green Chypre accords blend seamlessly with bright Fougere notes for a wonderfully classic scent. the tonsorial Sir Fougere was a beta puck so it isnt currently available for sale. If you are interested in it you can always contact Chris @ CBL and he may have some more or can tell you if he is going to be making any more of it.
Funny story about Roasted Oatmeal Stout. I've often joked with anyone who has smelled ROS, that it smells so good that it makes you want to take a bite. One of my cats apparently agrees. While I was shaving yesterday morning he came over to the washcloth that I wipe lather from my razor and gave it a sniff. Probably thinking that anything that looks that creamy might be good to eat. He took a taste and I watched for his reaction. He thought about it for a little while then TOOK ANOTHER LICK!
That's great Vic. The stuff smells like a great cookie.
He did it again today! This time he lapped up quite a bit, then he kind of gagged, and then went back and took another lick. I think that he can't believe that anything that looks and smells so much like something that is good to eat...is actually soap.Quote:

My cat smelled the soap for a second and just walked away uninterested.

Nope. My Cat wasn't going for it. He sniffed at it and looked at me. Then walked away. You got a special Cat Victor. :rolleyes:

I've been 3017ing my remaining Roasted Oatmeal Stout since February 1st. Looks like it will make it to April 15th.
Does 3017ing mean you stopped feeding it it your cat?Quote:
