Disappointed by the scent of the soap, not too keen on it at all. I get the lime and a pungent spicy note. The performance is fastastic but the scent not so (for me). I do find that a lot with their soaps, the scents are hit and miss, the only scents I have adored thus far are Albion and Solaris. As such I didn't use the solid cologne post shave, didn't fancy it on my chops if I didn't like the soap. Superb shave but this brush still loses a hair or two, may have to get it re-knotted and put it in retirement until then.
It is a looker but sheds a little bit, tempted to either have a go at reknotting or flog it lolThat shaving brush is a pearl of beauty, Sir! I am sooo envious.
Don't get rid, it's a beaut with the Welsh Dragon on itIt is a looker but sheds a little bit, tempted to either have a go at reknotting or flog it lol
G'day @Bogeyman well the Stirling Island Man shaving soap is light blue color when you open the lid and the scent smell sweet, not too sweet on my nose it does smell very similar to Palmolive Classic European shave stick mixture with Bay Rum together. I can only smell the bergamot, lime, mandarin, ginger, sugarcane, musk, and rum.What's your opinion of the scent, please?
Safe travels!....cheersView attachment 25891 S.O.T.D. 10th June

Another fabulous shave with this combo, super smooth and looking good! The SV Dolomiti was superb and gave me great protection and slide N glide. Finnished with the BBA post shave balm, all good.
For my scent today I applied a generous amount of Aventus oil so will be smelling sweet all day.
