Too funny!! I’m thinking barn cats and chickens, perhaps I could wash a car or two!!I’ve become somewhat of an expert croap maker to use up and hideoffensive scents. The blends lather great, but a couple of the scents are still very overpowering. None of my neighbors will let me wash their pets to use up this stuff, so I might try to wash a few strays to do a good deed this week.

Not original to me. I think I read it here. But after smelling it, yep.

I just found my welders gloves, so barn cats watch out. The combo scent of TOBS sandalwood and RE Peachy Klean will run mice and possums out of the barns before they even see the cats .
I can't take full credit. Mostly stolen from another post from long ago. I can't remember when or where.You win.
I bought a puck of it in spite of the review and it was so dead on I was never able to lather with it.
And yes, I like Arko!
I know it's hard to describe scents but what can you compare Eton College to (scentwise)?
It’s a pretty unique scent and no other shave lather I’ve ever smelled smells anything like it. It’s a very fresh orange and lemon peel blended expertly with patchouli, musk, and some wood I cannot discern. It reminds me a lot of Jovan Musk cologne, with the fruits being louder and more front and center than the rest. Now that it’s warmed up where I live it all I’ve been using for a while. Very fresh and clean!
My two favorite scents from TOBS are Cedarwood and Eton College.
I'd have to agree with this one. I wanted to try Cella but decided to try Razorock's Italian barber because it was on sale. Same scent!
Can't stand the smell. It felt like I was lathering a dessert onto my face, Lol!!
Cool!
I love the smell of Jovan musk. So I'll probably like it. TOBS Cedarwood and Proraso red are my favorites. I'm gonna buy the Eton College when I'm running out of Cedarwood. Unfortunately I just ordered 3 tubs, Lol!!
I bought a sampler pack of TOBS soaps from Amazon that were fulfilled by West Coast Shaving so that I could try out a scent to see how I would like it. There were some scents I thought I would like but didn't and others I thought I wouldn't like but I actually did. TOBS soaps/creams a bit pricey so the better your nose knows the more of an informed purchase you'll make.
I like straight basic scents like sandalwood, lavender, cedarwood etc..
I thought about getting a sampler but knew that I would end up only liking a select few. So I'd have to individually try those that fall within that scent profile that I like. I'm gonna give Eton College, lavender and Mr. Taylor a shot and hopefully I like them. Those are the ones that seem to fit what I "supposedly" like.
TOBS Sandalwood is a fantastic performer in stick form. It does smell how I imagine a taupe Members Only jacket would

I haven’t tried tons of soaps, and do my best to choose carefully. By virtue of having samples available my 2 worst are Stirling soaps…but I have some Stirling I quite like as well so no hate here.
Stirling Coniferous (I really like the bar soap but the shave soap sample was straight up “throwing pine boughs on a camp fire”)
and Sterling Margaritas In The Arctic (3-star hotel bathroom urinal puck).
Arko I’m fine with. Here in Canada at least we have a laundry soap powder called Sunlight that’s been around forever and that’s exactly what Arko smells like…so for me it’s nostalgic, fresh, clean laundry smell.
And Tabac, after some consideration, I just feel is a kind of bitter, rather than sweet or powdery Barbershop type scent in my books. I like it. Reminds me of Chiseled Faces Ghost Town Barber

I almost pulled the trigger on Margaritas in the Arctic…thanks for the heads up. I am also not a fan of anything pine; I’ll leave that scent for cleaning products.
I trust your opinion my friend! You know I love Arko, but I have not yet pulled the trigger on Derby... I might just do it anyway, but that lovely War Department holds the key to the PayPal account here and I fear her more than all y'all know!

Stirling Soap Co. Electric Sheep, it smelled like a wet sheep hide.
Well, you can't say you weren't warned. I mean, it was in the name.
I don't blame Stirling, I blame myself hahaha.
