Phoenix and Beau: Spitfire

[jaycee-uk]

I only just found this thread but love the sound of the Spitfire ..... As a pilot I think it's going to have to be tried !! You ought to do "Hurricane" too ! I have one of those across my back in ink !

Good luck with the new product - I wil be sure to order some as soon as it's back in stock.

Cheers,

Jay

Mine arrived today. The scent is starting to grow on me. It smells like an ashtray in the officers mess at Biggin Hill.

Hmm interesting description. I haven't taken the plunge on this one yet. Will be interesting to hear more opinions.

It was a surprisingly strong smell when I opened it, but it's grown on me too. It really takes me back to being a kid.

I've just shaved with it and I have to report it is truly a quality soap, just as expected. Well done Kerry. Great in all ways. The scent stays in the bowl when lathering and what a scent it is. I have the Obsidian but I don't think it will get much use. I hate spoiling a good soap. I know it's a bit OCD but with it being a limited edition I doubt I'll be able to bring myself to lather it up.

You really should. I felt the same way (particularly with the pot number I got) but the whole Obsidian experience is STUNNING.

Definitely lather it up Wayne. You will get a true representation of the scent profile.

I'll try...Honestly

What's the point of not using soaps Wayne? They'll only spoil, at best lose their scent and you'll have wasted them. P&B are making some of the best soaps out there and certainly as Nishy has pointed out, it's only when it's lathered that you'll be able to appreciate the scent profile.

True I suppose. It's just that new soap thing. I'll get over it eventually.

Same thing with the SV 70th, when you use it you'll soon find out why it wiser to get it wet. Forgetting the lather, scent, glide, cushion, all that......P&B post shave feel is the very best.

Hmmn not quite it's good but not MWF good.

If anyone is struggling to use their Obsidian for fear of spoiling it's pristine condition. I'm sure that I can offer my services to break it in a little before returning it to its rightful owner.

In fact, if my memory serves me correctly then I'm sure I suggested Obsidian as a name for Darron and his new Wickham soap. I knew I shouldn't have delayed putting my name down on the last and missing out!

It's actually completely normal, the hobby attracts different hobbyists. I know an LE collector who never puts water to brush. Each to their own and all that.

That was my thinking when i got my NOS old spice soap, but it had to be used, and used it was.
