I think he was saying that the Lime soap is labelled as Amber.

...it'll be given to someone who wronged me.
You can definitely use it wherever you like .If you don’t mind I’m going to steal that line. I spit out my coffee laughing [emoji23]
Col. Conk
Second time. First one was due to, in my opinion, its mediocre shaving soaps. This time due to, in my opinion, its obnoxious sales behaviour.
Never again, new or old formula.
I'm glad I finished my coffee, and I will be using that as well!If you don’t mind I’m going to steal that line. I spit out my coffee laughing [emoji23]
Obnoxious sales behavior? That guy is super responsive in every thread or post I've ever seen about Col. Conk. He seems easy going and willing to take a joke. As far as their soaps go, I specifically tried Col. Conk because of his behavior. I didn't even need any more bay rum products, and went ahead and bought a 4-pack, anyway. Great, middle-of-the-road- spicey bay rum scent, no problems with lathering. In fact, the soap created a marshmallow cream with great slickness. If i didn't already have more soaps than space, I'd buy another 4-pack. Tempted to do it anyway, just for shavepocalypse planning.
I'll have to see if I have any Stirling Bay Rum around here. I really admire what they are doing in their little community down there.Speaking of which... PAA bay rum products. I know that they have a following around here, but they don't smell like bay rum to me. Smythe and his wife seem pretty cool, no slight on them, and their soaps perform really well, but the scent is definitely not for me. I love their Aventus clone soap, as well as their Chill Mill, but I have zero interest in their bay rum. I went on a bay rum bender last month, buying all sorts of bay rum soaps and aftershaves, and the PAA scents are my least favorite. Both the Clasico and Atomic Age have a hippy-pineapple-fruity smell to them. I know that some people are sensitive to the smell of clove (stay away from Stirling's bay rum if you are), but bay rum should have some spiciness. Col. Conk's offering is a pretty solid middle-of-the-road bay rum in terms of both scent and performance. The only knock I can put on the Conk is I would prefer a more natural list of ingredients. Being soap, however, I understand that you need foaming agents, preservatives, etc. Having said that, if I had to 3017 a bay rum, Conk would be a very comfortable choice for me.

Yeah, I like the clove, no excuse! I like an aftershave so strong it not only slaps my face, it slaps everyone around me!Stirling's soaps are amazing performers. I went crazy and bought a lot of their stuff over the Thanksgiving break. Their Piacenza is a new favorite. I went back for the aftershave and edt, and bought three more containers of the soap. Great stuff. Highly recommended. However, their bay rum is clove heavy. This isn't an issue for me - I've got their Black Ice and Obsidian and love both. So, strong scent profiles aren't usually an issue for me, but there are a lot of people that want some version of bay rum that they've got in their head, and apparently, that doesn't include any clove. PAA is sweet and fruity, Stirling is the polar opposite. I want a more traditional, spicey/clovey/cinnamon bay rum. The Conk is a good middle-of-the-road scent profile, the Ogalalla is stronger, but still pleasant.

Perfection!Brass knuckle clove!
