The smell of this shaving soap seems to be loved by many, even to the point of cult following. So, with that in mind, and hazy memories of Tabac aftershave from the early 80s, I decided to take the plunge. I ordered the roll on, bar soap, EDC, balm and shaving puck.
So far only the bar soap has arrived.
But why don't I like the smell of this soap bar though? I can't figure out why. My brother used the aftershave back in the day when we were teenagers with crazy hairdos and girls all around, and from memory I'm sure it was a hit. Maybe my memory got skewed or something but now, as a fast approaching 50-year old, I can't quite get into how this bar soap smells.
I use the soap in my drawer to scent my undershirt for the next day at work; it hasn't been near any water yet. I wrap an it in the undershirt for approx 24 hours and the scent seems to last all of the next day. Also, at home, I keep the packet it came in beside me and occasionally the scent from it whafts up. Periodically I'll bring it to my nose to further try to get used to it. No dice yet though.
Am I expecting too much hoping that the shaving soap, roll on, balm and EDC will be different enough to the bar soap?
cheers, joe
