I had XXX and been using it for around a month but The Santa M came in and Joe has outdone himself. The quality is exact at 1/6 the price.
After using XXX and Santa M I see no need to every again buy ADP or SMN

Thanks. I thought I messed up the wording of it
It is spot on. From smell to lather to touch.
I'm pretty much RR and Mike's from here on out.

This was what came in yesterday:
niiiiiice
i haven't owned either, but by the looks of them, they differ great. SMN appears to be a harder soap, like cella and proraso, whereas the RR S. Maria is marsmallow like and very soft (like AOS cream).
do you currently have both the SMN and the S.Maria in your den for a side by side shot?
also, isn't SMN a soap and RR S.Maria a cream?

When you get a chance can you give us a follow up on the bee's knees and coconut? I was thinking of ordering them.
I had the S Maria cream but sold it after trying it a couple of times. I got a tub of SMN which is now one of my top 5 soaps.
The S Maria was a good cream with a nice fresh eucalyptus scent and great lather. The SMN also has great lather and a good refreshing scent. I love that it has lanolin which provides a very slick shave. Overall I am a soap guy, so my opinion is biased.

The S.Maria is a thick creme, perhaps a little thicker than CF? I sold my tub of SMN a little while back on the BST.
Other than the the menthol, I could not tell a difference.

Will do. They both smell great. The coconut is very much carribean as stated not at all like the Trumper coconut.
