Congrats @emwolf!
Soaps arrived yesterday. Sunday is my day of rest so I've got the vanille on deck for my shave on Monday
My first morning with the Otter. Since it's not the holiday season I opted for The Noir Et Vanille. There was a lot of vanilla scent in the jar, but once I began lathering the tea scent really came through. In fact, the scent reminded me of the vanilla tea I had in a Russian Tea Room in Chicago. It lathered well, was very slick, and rinsed cleanly. The shave was a two-day growth but I had no problem or irritation. There is a bit of a dry post shave feel, not to the Williams level however. A little CeraVe and all is right with the world. I'm planning on using this soap all week just to dial in the lather better. I think I used a bit too much water today and my second lathering was a bit runny. Thank you for the opportunity on this. Great stuff!
From reading the scent notes on 'Tis the Season, I would expect it would be nice any time of year. Curious how it smells from the tub if you can try to describe it

It's piney and sweet. No cinnamon (thank goodness for that, that is one shave soap ingredient that I cannot tolerate). If you have smelled Arlington by DR Harris, I'd say it's similar to that with extra pine scent.From reading the scent notes on 'Tis the Season, I would expect it would be nice any time of year.
