Love this 2fer, Erich. One balancing the fragrances of grapefruit, citrus an AdP and the other an excellent variation on the lime shave!

Thank you Ron!! I always look forward to your analysis!! Wonderful!

Tabac first time, I liked it

 

[ronweston]

Thanks, Ron! And you had yet another soap that I've not heard of - sigh (LOL)

Yeah, this was a very limited edition (34 or 35 jars), done as a third soap try by a member of a FB group. Not a bad soap at all, with a very interesting vertiver scent. The Parker Variant and the Voskhod didn't handle all that well. I don't think I've ever gotten a likable shave from the Variant. I'll be using the soap again very soon with different razor and blade.

Thanks, Ron. If I keep collecting them, I'll need to get a chess board to set them out on.

That would certainly be a great display, Doug.

 

[ronweston]

Nice pic, Ron. I like the yellow highlight push. Really makes it pop.

Thank you very much, Matt.

 

[ronweston]

Thanks Ron.

An excellent soap with a delicious scent.

Thanks. I really like the performance of all the PAA/Crown King soaps I've tried. And they do have great scents. Coconut Oud is one I've thinking about adding.

Jacob got it right the first time. He was a great inventor, but not a great salesman. My collection of Schick's which includes the following models, B, E, G, I, J, K, L, M, & N, give me a nice BBS everytime. The blades last 3 or 4 times longer than any DE or other SE blades I use. If the Colonel had just a portion of King's salesmanship, they could have cornered the market. Have a great day gentlemen.
