I have an on and off again type relationship with Noble Otter BarrBarr. Sometimes, I think it’s the greatest barber shop scented soap and aftershave I’ve ever had the pleasure of using, and other times, I find it to be a bit cloying. For that reason, I generally go longer periods before using it again. I figure, this way, I will miss the scent more and forget just how sweet I find it. Fortunately, it’s been awhile since I’ve used it, and I’m loving the scent.
As for the performance Noble Otter products are top notch. I get a nice thick lather, with a nice slickness. I find it rather easy to get the lather going too.
Today’s Challenge: Well, this confirms I have no clue what scents are being used when I shave. I mean, I really just go with what smells good to me. Almost all of the time, unless it’s just a few powerful scent notes (e.g. vanilla, lemon, mint…), I can’t tell what my sniffer is picking up. I got a whopping 4 out of 32, and two of those were lucky guesses.
