So I bought like 30 different shaving soaps and a lather brush and the whole deal... Anyway the one I picked today had like tobacoo in it, not the smoke but the fresh leaf. As much as I hate the smell of tobacoo smoke this smells soooo good.

Feelin fresh.

@freemo "tobacco" in wetshaving products often refers to the leaf or flower, which makes it annoying when artisans don't specify which one they are citing.

@arctangent i kinda figured as much. Though wome smell like smoke and not tobacoo

@freemo yeah, and the really heavy leaf smells are like being trapped in a humidor 😂

@arctangent As far as I can tell the smell doesnt last that long from the shaving cream anyway. I bought some solid cologne to offset that :)

@freemo aftershaves & balms will last longer than soaps, but nothing beats colognes and EdTs

@arctangent i dont like liquid colognes, too chemical.. the solid colognes are usually more natural due to the fact that they arent expecting to be as strong (though last much longer).

Im happy to avoid liquid colognes and stick with solid.

@freemo I don't use either, my workplace encourages being "scent-free" and I'm not that into 'em anyway. Just soaps and balms (low to no alcohol) for this guy.

@arctangent Im trying to pick smells that are less scents and more like actual wood smell. Basically only really smells.
