Yeah, I bet that's a really great soap. You should get it before it's out of stock.
Anyone interested in an Orange binge this week?

Shaved with a Murphy & Mcneil sample of Banzai today. It was a really nice scent pure juicy orange to me maybe just slightly tart like a tangelo or something. Curious if this is fragrance oil or essential, but just says fragrance for ingredients. Also, it has a cooling agent(koolada) which was very light, but I could feel it definitely feel light cooling after the first pass.

Who makes the Pinnacle soap you found? Did you receive it yet, and if so, what do you think?

I don't know anything about this soap except that after noticing in somebody's list of "top tier " soaps along with others I know to be good, it popped up on the Canadian retailer that I use and I threw it in with an order. All it says is
- A Soap created by Alessio Di Domenicantonio
I have not received it yet. I'm quite confident it will change my world.

This is a delightful soap with the cooling on the face. Although we still have not had any warm weather yet this year where I live on the West Coast of Canada, so I'm not needing cool yet.
I used to live on the west coast of Washington for 12 years. Warm weather was anything above 75 degrees!!
Stirling Orange Chill, Glacial Citron, and Glacial Satsuma are among my favorites. The Satsuma EDT sticks with me for 8+ hours!
I love the patina on your copper brush handle. You need to show it off more.
This morning I added four drops of Blood Orange to my lather to create my version of a Dreamsicle.
Note to myself, only use three drops next time.

I received and have used a soap from a totally new soap maker to me called Pinnacle Grooming. This scent description is what suckered me in:
- Bergamot,
- Grapefruit,
- Lemon,
- Blackcurrant,
- Mint,
- Orange blossom

My orange binge led to two impulse soap purchases. The first was Pinnacle Grooming Leo Nerd which worked out to be a fantastic soap but no orange scent. My wife lives it and uses it constantly, even the splash. Good deal there. The second was a Gentleman's Nod soap called Citrine. This is one that so far I'm regretting. Not orange. But the base itself is an excellent performer.
But far and away the best has been Nordost. Very special.
I don’t care where you grew up, in that scent profile 4 of the 6 notes are a citrus of some sort. It should definitely have a citrus smell to it. I hate it when you buy a soap and it smells nothing like what you expect.
I considered both this and the Citrine but now I’m glad I passed on both. I had a sample of the original Zaharoff and wasn’t a fan of the scent and I was worried the Citrine would have too much of that original scent in with it.
A good day for a little of citrus scented pre-shave and some excellent orange scented soap
What makes blood orange different from orange orange?
From Eat Like No One Else:
What's the Difference you may ask
The obvious difference starts with the color. On the inside blood oranges can range from shades of red, orange, and purple - depending on the variety and how mature they were at harvest. The skin can shows various amounts of red again depending on their maturity and the variety.If you find a blood orange that is not red at all on the outside, you can still tell it from a Navel orange as it won't have the characteristic "belly button" that a Naval has.
What I am sure you are really wanting to know is taste. Do they taste different or is it appearance only? Blood oranges are more acidic than Navel or Valencia oranges. They do have a unique flavor, than many categorize as raspberry-like. Some might say cranberry because of it's tart punch.
?️ Peeling Them
Peeling them is not all that easy. It can be done for sure, but might want to eat slices or wedges instead. On average they are about as easy or harder to peel than a Navel orange. Unless it's a variety like the Tarocco blood orange which tend to have a thinner skin. I have peeled those before without trouble.So, I guess, in fragrance it would be more tasty and less sweet. Not as bright as other citrus?
This is a nice orange mix. Liked it so much I used it two days on a row!
Hope I got it right this time.
