My buddy (HawkeyeTed) hooked me up with a boat load (no Navy puns intended) of soaps! I got a tub of Mama Bears "Bitter Orange Orchid" and "Fresh Ginger Lime", Ogallala "Bay Rum, Sage, & Cedar" and "Bay Rum & Lemon Grass" soap pucks and 4 Ogallala sample pucks in different flavors!
Woohoo!!!! BB set finally showed up! Also got a nice brush in a package of stuff from my mom. She saw it in a shop and picked it up for me. It's going to clean up real nice! I've been looking for a nice butterscotch/bakelite brush.
So I tried the Mama Bears Bitter Orange Orchid and was very impressed. My only dealings with a soap prior to this was VDH. I originally thought the scent was going to be too sweet, based on the smell in the container. I was pleasantly surprised with the scent after I lathered it up. This shaving experience was far better than my VDH experiences. It whipped up nice, and felt pretty cushioned for my Progress. for Mama Bears!
