This is my 3rd APR soap, and they've all been amazing.
I think Maggards sells samples. I need to try more of them.

It lets you put in everything you own (don't worry Gene, there's a bulk function lol) and it lets you rate scents, then it tells you according to your preferences what mixes well out of the stuff you own.....what soaps go with what ASs, balms, etc....plus what would go well with what you already have as far as future purchases go. Pretty neat.

After checking out the Try That Soap site, I wound up buying some Siliski Pachouli Blend.... going to get in touch with my inner hippie!
Never heard of Siliskit but, they were the only soap maker that I was able to spot who had a mostly-pachouli soap.

1. I see trends in my shaving.
Blackbird = always getting amazing shaves.
Rockwell 6S = consistently getting amazing shaves.(with the exception of days 4-7 of the trip)
Karve = consistently getting amazing shaves. (assuming you find the options that fit)
Any deviation from Russian Gillette blades = performance compromised. No reason for me to use 3rd world crapola blades anymore.
The brush seems to make a huge difference with shave enjoyment, even though it seems so simple.
I am tempted to try some shave stickage again. not sure why.
Ajax, That's badass you're using a GEM. I have one all loaded up and ready to go, but I keep chickening out. I guess I shouldn't be too scared since I can shave with a Kamisori.
I tossed a couple of soaps in the trash today. Some Serbian crap and some Turkish Derby soap. They really suck. The Derby made my hand feel dry and waxy. I glad I didn't waste a shave on it. The Serbian Palmira is a soft almond soap that lathers about as well as Williams. Pure shit.
I've decided the Sinfornia doesn't have ANY staying power. I splashed it all over my arms at midnight. Woke up at 1:40am, and all evidence of any scent was gone. It's going into office storage.
I'm going to give Tabac another try. I'm intrigued by Euro soaps again. I'm sure I'll be disappointed.
Every time I read about Soap Commander, it makes me wonder why I don't use it more. It's perfect.
This thread is my new home. I spend 100% of the day on it.

Not bad but, I finally donated it to the sharps bank.

Dude if you’re into patchouli grab a sample of Murphy&McNeil’s Ouroboros. They’re legit as fuck and it’s a really unique take on that scent. I really enjoy it.
