I didn't know whether there were any other differences you noticed between the soaps.My sense of smell is no great shakes. But yeah, I find the variation is not that wide. Looking at the ingredients, a lot of the essential oils are present in each.
Overall, though, the subtlety is one of the qualities I appreciate about this line. I don't go for scent bombs.
Mark (Hoka Hey) beat me to the punch. We handed off the soap last weekend, but I was able to get a couple more shaves in with the Natural Ireland.
I used both the Seaweed and Stout and the Natural again and came away thinking that this is a very nice soap. If I was to buy it, I would probably stick to the Natural just because of the issue I had with the scent of the soap upon opening the container. (Of course, there was no fishiness when I handed the soap over to Mark. I'd hoped that he might experience the same thing - as proof that I'm not crazy - but it wasn't there on Saturday.)
I did enjoy the scent of the soap while shaving and the creaminess of the lather. In general, I would certainly consider this soap if I ran across it again.
Thanks @Rory1262 for organizing the passaround and for letting me know about this soap.
