Strike Gold Shaving Pass Around

"TSC's Master of Bourbon"
As most of the Cadre knows I became a fan of Strike Gold Shaving this year when I 3017ed a tub of their "Old Hickory" scented soap. I would like to get more of you to try this product, so I have decided to offer a pass around.

The box (a USPS Priority Mail box) will contain full tubs of 5 different scents from Strike Gold along with some sample containers.
  • When you receive the box please PM the next in line to get their mailing address.
  • You have up to a week to try as many of the scents as you desire.
  • It is preferable that you scoop out a small amount to shave with rather than lather on the puck. (If you do lather on the puck make sure that the top of the soap is clean before sending it on.)
  • Please post your experiences with the soaps in this thread.
  • Once you have tried all the scents that appeal to you, please take samples, using the included containers, of as many of the different scents as you like.
  • When you mail the box to the next in line, PM that person with the Tracking code.
The pass around will start in January, as soon as I have received the product.

This is a soap I have been debating for quite some time! Thanks Doug for this opportunity. If you don't mind, however, I am going to put my name down the list some. Just have some things going on earlier and would rather try these later. Thanks again!

Nice PIF on a soap I been curious about, but not in as some artisan soap maker (that we all know) just released a bunch of new soaps in the last month and so I am still working through them.

Don beat me to it. Since I am on the list for another pass around. 9th spot will delay me getting this. So my SAD can be kept in check.

Here are the scent notes of the 5 soaps that I ordered (copied from the descriptions on WCS):
  • Strike Gold Shave Shaving Soap, Teddy - Top notes of wild lavender, lemon blossom, and acai berry are married to mid notes of yellow iris petals, pink peony, and white magnolia. All of this is laid on a dry base of gilded amber, creamy vanilla, soft sandalwood, and cotton musk.
  • Strike Gold Shave Shaving Soap, Kennedy - This complex aroma has top notes of aldehydes, ozonic effect, metallic effect, violet leaf, neroli, cardamom, black pepper, and fresh ginger for a start that will have you imagining sipping your julep on the shore. Then a heart of beeswax, cyclamen, linden blossom, lavender, and leather will evoke the fresh cut flowers in the cut crystal vase by your side. The base of gurgum wood, patchouli, myrrh, cedarwood, tonka bean, oakmoss, white musk, honey effect, old wood effect, vanilla, and amber will seal the deal on the smell of old money and masculinity.
  • Strike Gold Shave Shaving Soap, Old Hickory - Fresh, herbal citrus at the start blends into rose, oakmoss, grapefruit in the middle. It all rests on sandalwood, blonde woods, amber, musk, and tonka.
  • Strike Gold Shave Shaving Soap, Rushmore - Opening notes of balsam, verbena, orange peel with apple and cinnamon give it a bright, fruity start. Then middle notes of evergreen, fir, mistletoe, cranberry, sugar, and myrrh deepen the feeling of standing in a forest, which is further solidified with base notes of pine, sandalwood, balsam fir, and incense.
  • Strike Gold Shave Shaving Soap, Nixon - A sweet and sour blend of lemon (a homage to Nixon's home state of California perhaps) and sugar cane (a spoon full helps the medicine go down, ya know.)
Hopefully everyone can find an appealing fragrance in at least one of these products.
