Anybody else use this soap today? From the website:
Step back in time to the classic barber shop with our evocative fragrance. The scent opens with the invigorating charm of bergamot, whisking you to an era of dapper gentlemen. As you breathe in, the herbal allure of fresh basil entices like aromatic tonics on the shelves. Oakmoss infuses the air with the nostalgia of old leather chairs, while white patchouli adds a touch of sophistication, like a well-groomed mustache. Transport yourself to a bygone era, where the essence of timeless elegance and masculine refinement fills the air, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
To call using this soap a truly unforgettable experience might be stretching the truth a bit. It's fine. Smells light and vaguely barbershoppy, but it really is just completely forgettable. Barrbarr and Seville were a nice combination to finish it off though. The theme of my shave today is barbershop scents, if that wasn't already clear.
I got 17/32 and had fun reminiscing to college when Sporcle quizzes were a brief but intense fad.
Sponsor Spotlight is Summer Break Soaps, and they are deserving of the spotlight. Without Summer Break there would be no Remote Learning, a scent that has strangely grown on me over the past few months.
