Hey! Midland is an excellent city to spend ages 4-8!

I know lot's of you haven't tried it, but Xpec is a very manly soap indeed. It has a very complex fragrance. It's more like a cream, but sold as a soap. You can't get it currently, so don't try. I did receive an email from Milan Italy, believe it or not, Some girl named Fabrizia, Sounds hot...Anyway, here's an a bit..

"Following your request on the Xpec Shave Soap, I would like to inform you
that the brand Xpec and all its references is currently subject to a
restyling.

I'm not sure what that means exaclty, because it was awesome the way it was, I really hope they don't change the soap itself, maybe just the packaging, which was kinda lame...

My vote's for anything Bay Rum!

I have not tried this soap so I cannot vouch for it but I recently read a thread on it and it sounds very interesting/manly. The Beer Soap Co. They have about 90 soaps made from different beers along with some solid colognes made from waxes (I'm guessing they are like a hand balm).

Real men just smear some blood on their faces. it's the best lube in the world.

I made a rather manly shave soap by taking an Arko shave stick, shredding it, softening it in some hot water, adding some pine essential oil and molding it into a cake. It smells like the great outdoors. However, it also smells like Pine-Sol cleaner so depending on your perspective it's either outdoorsy or bathroomy. One good thing is that it worked well enough to inspire me to eventually try other scents with the Arko sticks. You can't actually melt the stuff but it gets soft enought to mix other things wth it. It's a great blank canvas for experimenting.

After seeing the thread title, I was expecting something more like this:
