Well, I have entered the world of DE shaving this year, so, I'll said for me is APR Fougere Bourbon Rose, that actually was my first artisan adquisition. This **I wont define as I cannot yet** scent together with the soap performance change me on some thinkings, as when I entered into the real DE shaving (I have been using a brush and soap-La Toja stick for over 2 decades) I went into some best known and used products like proraso and TOBS, and I found that well, I couldn't find a real improvement, neither scents, until I bougth that soap, APR FBR. After that I have bougth other artisan brands, and other APR products (plus some gifted samples to discover more of APR scent range).
So I want to thank myself for joining P&C ( ) so I could discover it.
There would be better? Let's see what the future brings. And we move seasonally. Now I know I load heavier because my tub of CdV is much lighter than the one of APR on use, and I got CdV months after FBR.... xD

Too many sopas to try this 2018!! I will try to not get crazy, but scents drive nuts

To the lovers of Valobra, I was wondering if you were referring to the hard or soft soaps?

On the topic of hard puck soaps, have any of you guys tried these Prohibition Style soaps before? The scents are great, but I'm not used to using a hard soap & I cannot seem to get the lather I'm looking for with them. I tend to bowl lather rather than face lather, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference with hard soaps. Thoughts? Tips?
