G'day @Rohleder - I have the 1924 Panama 250g brick - I've broken off half and pressed into a bowl. I find the scent strength pretty good - maybe 7/10. I suspect that, as is often the case with samples, the scent is reduced due to compression, handling, and shipping. Good to see that you've picked it up from Jim - he is an absolute gent.
Good to know Tom, thanks for that. I sniffed them again this morning actually... I stand by my strength rating but you're probably right, I'm fairly sure the Valobra isn't supposed to be that mild either. Anyway, sniffed them again and I can detect something else in the Boellis, a hint of something I can't put my finger on... Carter & Bond website says it has a dash of their Panama Cologne in so it might be that.
You're quite right, Jim is a Godsend to us shavers! I realised I hadn't ordered anything from him in over a year so sorted that out pretty quick
