Soap/cream of the day

Wet Shaving Products Tobacco

Apart from the small diameter tins WSP uses (which always seem to deform and become hard to screw tight), I think WSP makes a great product. Per usual, this soap developed into a rich, thick lather. And I love this tobacco flower scent. It was gratifying to use it the morning. One thing about WSP is that they make a nice matching aftershave and I used it following my shave.

Eufros Tobacco has a hardier scent than WSP with something spicy going on in the background. I used my Eufros Tobacco soap again 4 or 5 shaves ago and was reminded how nice it was. I followed up that shave with Eufros Tobacco balm which has a lighter version of the scent plus a little menthol in it. I think Eufros makes one of the best balms that I have tried--it sinks right into your skin hydrating it well.

Henri et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars has a really nice scent, quite different than WSP and Eufros, as you would expect from the name. I really enjoyed the scent of the soap and its performance. Unfortunately, both the soap and matching aftershave really irritated my skin. A second use confirmed the irritation problem and I pif'd the set to @Dave in KY . He too experienced skin irritation and the set was passed along by him to another.
 
Had a small flake of Haslinger Honey tallow left in the bowl from my last shave with it. But not enough for a 3 pass shave. So I added some Sir Irisch Moos cream to it and got a solid shave this morning.

WSP Formula T Olympus

When @Graybeard57 posted that WSP was very good at scents, on this board in the Fragrance section, I purchased soap and aftershave sets of Olympus and Tobacco. He was correct. Olympus is their dupe of Creed Aventus as I understand it and it is a very pleasant scent indeed. The soap is competently crafted and readily produces a lather that glistens, a sign to me that maker and I have both done our respective jobs.
