What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

I just pulled the trigger on a Mama Bear soap. I was dragging my feet again, like I have in the past (which prompted my question of is it the same soap still). Then they ran a sale (half off, approx) for the Polynesian Red. So, I jumped in and grabbed a tub of this.

No clue if I'll like it, but I did see somewhere @Shavewizard420 eludes to it being one he liked. I know scents are subjective and personal, but I still feel good seeing he liked this scent. [emoji16]

Fingers crossed.

I'd assume the recipe is the same. That said, it's pretty good soap. Definitely no frills, and the lather will be different from what you're used to, so give yourself some time to get used to it.
 
I was never a big Bay Rum fan and mostly I’m not a fan of clove but a shaving buddy convinced me to try PAA Atomic Bay Rum as he said it had no clove in it and he told me to him it’s the best he’s tried and the owner makes it himself and it’s barrel aged. So not knowing if I’d like it I ordered the AS splash and I have to say it’s the best I’ve smelled so I went and ordered the new formula/base of the soap and it’s on its way. Let’s see if this converts me to a Bay Rum fan..

I haven’t tried the new formula, but I love the AA Bay Rum.

My fave Bay Rum! It will always have a place in my shave den!

Yaqi Two Band Silvertip Shaving Brush, Mountain Lake Handle, 24mm × 1

Looking forward to having one more Yaqi to play with.
 
I have 2 new base plates (high efficiency and dual comb) for my Yates razor and a sampler of AC blades somewhere out there in USPS land. Can’t wait for the blades so I can try my hand at blood letting with the PIFed Kamisori that came yesterday.
 
Because I don't have enough pipe tobacco at home, apparently...
