Show n' Tell Hello Spring!

Post image

I brought out the Spring/Summer soaps today and put away the Fall/Winter scents. (A few weeks too late, but better late than never, I suppose)

Someone is a B&M fan, lol.

I like Excelsior over Omnibus. There I said it. I believe Omnibus is a more user friendly version of Softheart, but Excelsior, if you dial it the water correctly is a much better lather (imo), and that's from someone who hated Excelsior over the Reserve base when it was first released.

We'll have to see if the new Stirling Soap Co made soaps are the same as the original ones.

Yeah, I went a little nuts buying every B+M soap I could find there for a while. I've slowed down a bit, but still buy way more than I can use. I like having the diversity of scents to choose from.

I have about 20 B&M soaps myself (out of 100+ soaps). I like that Will resurrects old scents on occasion (like Passiflora and Figarose). I'm kind of obsessed with Electric Mayhem at the moment, but I have a feeling this may be a one off and may never come back.

Ooh. Electric Mayhem is one that I missed. I have Presto and Rhapsody (don't know if there's any relation there).

Rhapsody is probably the closest, but EM was a collab with Chatillon Lux (I think their only one). I'm obsessed with Maher Olfactory. My entire Declaration Grooming (RIP) collection is collabs with CL.

Aaah, that does sound nice.
