Talent Soap Factory is a new one for me. I was pleasantly surprised with the lather performance, as admittedly, my expectations weren't high for an etsy seller. I would say the majority of Talent Soap Factory's catalog is gourmands with a few other scents mixed in whose notes are verbatim with preblend sites. I settled on Cakehole for who knows why. It definitely smells like a cupcake or cake loaded with frosting. While it isn't unpleasant, I am glad I only have the soap as I imagine any sort of scent longevity on the face could become too much. Summer Break Soaps Icy Stare was a great match to put the ICE in icing. Since I don't think I have any gourmand fragrances, Stirling Soap Co. Haverford was the sweetest frag that came to mind. All in all, I do really like the TSF soap performance and would love to see some development in the scent offerings.
I think today's daily challenge is the one that annoys my wife the most. Who cares when you shave on the back porch, lather on your knee, or mix ice cubes in your sink of water, but when you start shaving in the kitchen, that's when the side-eyeing starts.
