I arrived at home tonight to find my order from Mama Bear had arrived. I greedily tore in to it and had a whiff. DAMN- smells real nice. I haven't shaved with it yet, and will give a better opinion tomorrow (although, from what all have said, I have little doubt in the performance). Just wanted to post some feedback for Sue. I have my wife smell everything I own. She will give it a whiff and, usually, say she likes it. I had her smell Phoenix- she says "Wow, that smells nice". I explained the details behind the name- then she says "Let me smell it again". We talked for a few minutes more and she says "Do they have that scent in a bathsoap? Oh, and let me smell it again". Sue, the wife loves the soap. If you ever make a regular soap with that I think you may have a new customer. She also asked if you make a vanilla (I said I think you do). So, maybe in 3 weeks or so I will be placing another order for samples. If you have "Phoenix" in soap form I am sure she will buy it.
