I went to use a new to me orange scented soap today and realized I have quite a few orange soaps in the drawer. I'm going to rotate through them for a while and would be interested in seeing/hearing about other orange soaps out there. Started with this Stirling.
Anyone interested in an Orange binge this week?

My introduction to orange was Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle which I really enjoyed. My personal benchmark for a true orange scented soap is Ethos Blood Orange.
edit: As much as I love my Ethos, a couple of days would be my limit, but I'm in. Maybe get this started next Sunday. I'd love a Sunday Blood Orange shave.

I can microwave a batch of melt and pour shave base and scent it up with orange essential oil. I’m in. I also have some Stirling Tangerine if you let me cheat slightly.
ian's orange geranium is nice.

...but this one IS cracked.
I'm in for a couple of shaves, I only have RR Don Marco for an orange scent, but I love it and orange scents in general. The Ethos Blood Orange soap intrigues me, does anyone know if anywhere in Europe has it?
I would be, I love orange scent, but all I've got is ARKO.
Ethos and The Razor Company does ship internationally.
Oh oh oh oh - I forgot I had some Don Marco squirreled away. I did shave with my melt and pour today but the scent level is low. Was still a nice shave finished off with Lucky Tiger tonic which has a faint orange scent.
I've only got Catie's Bubbles Noah l'Orange, an orange and menthol soap.

Today was this A&E orange. Seemed pretty much scentless to me. Perhaps I should eat something and see if I have any ability to taste as well!
Overall, did not compare favorably to the Stirling.
The Ethos Orange looks great.

If you like a straight up, natural orange scent then Blood Orange should be in your den.

Nordost anyone ?
Yeehaw, I forgot that I had another orange scented soap in a drawer and I haven't used it yet. Tomorrow is as good a reason to break this out as any.

Razor: Rockwell 6C R5
Blade: Voskhod(7)
Soap: RR Don Marco
Brush: Yaqi Lucky Dice
The fantastic orange scent of Don Marco is one of my favourites. Despite the lather being a bit bubbly tonight still gave me a good shave as did flipping the Rockwell plate to R5. The shave was smoother but the final ATG pass was a little tuggy but still left me with a near BBS finish.
I could do a few. I got 3 orange soaps glacial satsuma, nordost, and goodfellas orange empire which is lightly scented. Maybe 4-5 if you count citrus blast and glacial citron where orange is mixed in with other citrus.

Today's entry for my orange binge ...
... a very nice orange and ginger scent. I'd rate the scent strength 5/10 and I got whiffs of orange and ginger throughout the whole shave.

@AlphaFrank75 "Wiffs of orange" makes for a very pleasant shave! Got the same with this Mike's this morning.
