I just ordered the after shave and haven't actually smelled the scent yet but I'm guessing I'm going to like it very much. Has anybody any experience with the shave soap? It's a vegan/vegetarian blend so that appeals to me but only if it actually works.
Portland General Store Whiskey soap

It does sort of smell like whiskey. Performance is only middling, to me.
i live in portland.......never heard of it..........?
It's the other Portland!
Whiskey products available here, very central location: http://www.portlandgeneralstore.com/
I'm not a fan of it, the smell is sort of whiskey like but it's a pretty poor performer, thin airy lather that doesn't provide much glide or protection.
Besides one each on opposite coasts, there's a Portland, Arkansas, quite distant from any ocean.

Fourteen altogether. I'd never known before today about Portland, Texas . .
I thought it smelled a lot like whiskey, but was just ok as a soap
I notice that currently there is a puck of Whiskey soap sold, and a Whiskey soap sold that comes in a jar. They do not have the same formulation.
Jar soap (discontinued): castor oil, coconut oil, olive and palm oils, glycerin, cocoa butter, beeswax (yellow), apple cider vinegar, bentonite clay.
Puck soap (newer product): Coconut Oil, Organic Sustainable Palm Oil, Organic Safflower Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Bentonite Clay, Unrefined Beeswax, Purified Water, Essential Oils, Sodium Hydroxide
The newer puck soap seems as if it is using the fairly standard Brambleberry Shaving Soap Base: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate (emulsifier), Soy bean protein (conditioner), Wheat Protein (conditioner).
Without testing the products, I would assume the newest formulation is superior, as olive oil in shaving soap tends to produce horrible results.

I agree with John, and even the newer formulation probably wouldn't be anything to write home about, since it is so close to the Brambleberry M&P base soap, which is OK but not stellar.
