Single scent, one word; almond. There's something so nice about this scent from Cella, it smells just like a fresh almond croissant to me. And it's very clean. It's a perfect scent for when decision paralysis kicks in and I can't decide which soap to use. It's very universal and simultaneously innocuous. Cella is an absolute den staple.
Also huge shoutout to u/EldrormR for supplying today's hardware. The MM24 is one of my absolute favorite razors, and he does incredible work, so much that he made this absolutely incredible brush. I wanted a 24mm unbleached Zenith boar knot in it, but unfortunately Zenith doesn't or wouldn't sell a loose knot. Not a problem for a man with desire and a hammer, who completely knocked it out of the park.
As for discontinued soap bases, I'm still relatively new, so haven't gotten a chance to use many, if any of the unobtanium bases. But as far as the current ones, I absolutely love Stirling and Spearhead bases. They can take a ton of water to make the slickest glide I've been able to get. Not to discount any of the other artisan bases, as they all work well for me, it's like comparing a Ferrari to a Formula 1 car, I love them all!
