First post for me in this thread as a result of my participation in the Soap Sample Pass Around.
First out the gate is Wild West Peace Pipe.
I'm a sucker for a tobacco scent. This one is sweet and pleasant.
Scent is very subjective but this one for me is nice.
The factors I like to have in a soap in order of importance for me.
1. Slickness = Very Good
2. Cushion/protection= Very Good.
3.Post Shave= Very Good.
4. Scent strength= medium.
5.. Ease of lather and stability= Very Good.
Conclusion. I like it. Not a "Have to buy it right away" but on my radar.

P.S. I now only have 25 other soaps that I have picked out of the 120+ samples.

Second soap from the sample pass around.
Lisa's Natural Herbal Creation Tashmere.
Love the scent of this soap.
The base is ok slickness and protection were average. Lather wasn't stable. Post was shave average as well.
It may be that I did not have the soap/water ratio where it needs to be. But good soaps in my opinion. Should have a big sweet spot. And not be difficult to get it to work well.
So this one is not going to make my cut.
I am really enjoying having a new soap every day to try out.
Next up Ballenclaugh Honey Tobacco.

Was considering a different soap, but in honor of the news that @Mystic Water is joining us for another year, decided to celebrate with a MW Coconut Sandalwood shave.
I just love the smell of this soap. It has a great strong coconut scent, on an equally strong background that is deep and rich and takes the coconut from a summer scent to any season, year round. Out of this world.
