I paid a good bit more for the first one before I realized they come up frequently
I got a sample pack of Gentlemen's Nod shave soap coming in on Tuesday. Ruds on YouTube had some very good things to say about the soap base and I think the themes are very clever.
I'm super keen on the medical one you got. It's in great shape. I'll have to get one for myself because I pretend to do medicine and it's neat.
Interesting indeed. Ya made me go look.

Me too but pricey soap
Damn that looks like the proverbial “apple” right there! What goodness is that good Sir?!
Even the three samples are a little pricey. But if they turn out to be alright scents and expected performance it might very well be worth the price.
Base & Scent Profile
- Base: Aon
- Scent Strength: Light/Medium
- Top: Bergamot, Lemon, Pepper
- Middle: Pepper, Rose, Peppermint
- Base: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, Lavandin
- Notes: An aquatic accord with hints of zesty citrus and fresh/green mint, some may recognize this fragrance as an homage to Creed's "Viking" (no affiliation).
Whaaaaaaaaat? Oh my that sounds perfect!
I hope, I don't do so well with blind buys other than CBL and A&E.
So, for those who haven't tried Murphy & McNeil, the regular soap base is almost a cream. For this soap base, they altered something to make it more firm. Just putting it out there...the performance is VERY strong. Just short of elite status, IMHO. (yes I did order Gael Loch as well...non-mentholated soap, mentholated non-alcohol splash and non-alcohol perfume. (can't call it an EdT since it doesn't have perfumers alcohol in it)

I just picked up the Naid from Murphy & McNeil and it is the only soap out of 6 that melted and slid in the tub during my trip but I fixed that. Haven't had a chance to try yet but anxious too after seeing your video.
Looking forward to your impressions of it!
