Just got this today from Connaughts. Like nothing I’ve ever seen. (or smelled!) This soap is brown and hard as a carp! i haven’t shaved with it yet, but I did whip up some (brown) lather because I was so curious. Smells like BIG peat smoke. That’s all, just HUGE smoke...no scotch whisky fragrance that I could find. I’m going to get a flask of cheap scotch to add when I make lather! This will keep everyone out of your shave den...unless you’re a fireman, then you’d simply be aroused. Can’t wait to shave tomorrow!! Might even crank up the Variant to 11!
