Sorry Dan- it was a good one. I'm sitting out the next bunch of Mallards and hopefully kill whats left of 3 tubs before Mo drops some more bangers after that.

No worries Andrew! I can live vicariously through you and others for a while …
Not like I’m short on GD soap …

Have not pulled them out yet, not feeling any scritch
I that picture is not a correct representation
At this point I'm unsure of what I'm smelling, but in my mind it smells very gentlemanly. The scent is a little dark so I'd consider it a cool weather scent. Very glad I made this choice.
After the Fire, after it came to room temperature, turned out to be a great scent too. The smokey scent blended in with the other notes and now I have to look for it. Another good choice.
Of the Grooming Dept soaps still available at the handful of retailers, are there any favorites or must-haves you guys would recommend?
At The Razor Company, I really like Schön. I've also considered Ardent as I have not had any exposure to a tea note in shaving soaps. Another good thing about Ardent is it's made with the Kairos SE base.
All of them. They're all good.
The mailman was good to me today! I'm looking forward to diving into the Grooming Department soaps and aftershave! I was surprised the Coattails completely nailed the barbershop/Old Spice feel. I need to do some A/B testing with the NOS Old Spice soap, aftershave, and cologne I have.

Murphy & McNeil still have the latest releases
I saw that. I’m trying to get some recommendations and see which ones are you guys‘ favorites.
You could seriously close your eyes and pick one. The vetiver soap is stellar.

@Proper Irish, I've only tried two Maxima scents–Iris, and Kai. Iris, I'm sorry to say, and maybe I'm missing something, is a one-note pony. Straight up grandma's purse violet lipstick. No go for me. Kai is really good, though. It smells like suntan lotion on the beach–ironically, it also has notes of iris, but it's buried among dominant notes of pineapple and...beachiness. It's a great aquatic scent.
I didn't get Iris so I have no horse in this race, but that particular scent was based off the purple soap Mo released a while back- which was basically an orris butter scent- a nice soapy and suede scent. The purple soap was a hit and for whatever reason Iris was also hot. Wet shavers seem to like floral soapy scents, I guess. I would say Kai and Vetiver would be the safest buys from this drop.
Both of those are great
I'm a big fan of Kai!
It is a great soap
