The Body Shop Maca Root for me - As an added bonus, I find that scent to be nice and light and that it pairs well with many of my various aftershaves. Sometimes I will use the Maca Root simply because I haven't yet decided which aftershave scent I will want to wear.
My go to for a bad shave day... Tabac. Although recently, all the new soaps I have been working with are all awesome. So having an off day, because of soap, hasn't happened for sometime now.
I had a stick of pizzazzless boring Lea sitting on the shelf that had been hardly used because it was pizzazzless and boring so never given a chance. Decided i'd used it 'til gone to make a spot for something new. After a week it became apparent this stuff worked really really well for me, it became that soap, that one, the one that if i wanted a great shave and could no longer stomach the scent of those i can usually stomach, Lea can save the day.
Lea Stick- unscented, pizzazzless and boring works great for me.

My Long Rifle soaps, in any scent, are my most reliable and therefore my baseline. Recovery soap is a great description, and I can always go back to one of these when I have had a rough shave or just want to "reset".
