Nice I just opened up the vanilla bourbon I will try it in the morning. I like the smell right out of the package I hope it mixes well with my TOBS preshave oil, it has a chamomile scent to it. I really need to get some unscented pre/post shave products because these SRD soaps smell so good I don't want to muddle up their scent.
The only thing missing from SRD's vanilla bourbon is a matching aftershave! I blended my vanilla bourbon with Mama Bear's aftershave scented with vanilla cream back when Mama Bear's still had some aftershave balm in stock and that layered very nicely. If I get it again I'm really not sure what I'd layer it with. It's such a unique scent that I find it difficult to pair with aftershaves.
I just finished my shave and what a wonderful scent and great lather. I will be adding this to my soap line up. Looks like I may have the start of SAD.
it impressed me also if you read my other post .. i admit at first i didnt think it was gonna be a scent of choice but i like it after using it ... i was in store smelling all of them today , i brought back a lavender & opus sample to try .. after reading online about them the opus was the last one i thought id want to try but i unscrewed the lid and said " i gotta try this " it reminded me of my longleaf tobacco chewing days ... i hope to try it in the morning ..
I have tried and really enojoy the Vanilla Bourbon, West Indies Bay, and Sandalwood. The West Indies Bay followed by some Dominica Bay Rum aftershave is my current favorite combo.
The Vetiver is great as well. I do wish srd would make some after shave to pair with their soaps (maybe in time)
I have so many soaps that I put myself on a shave sabbatical.
You guys aren't making it easy. :banghead:
