It’s been a busy summer. I have not paid any attention to new products. Is there anything note worthy or exciting you have seen or are looking forward to trying out?

Maggard just stocked Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted. While it's not available in soap or aftershave, the frag is one of my favorites. Niche, but not weird. Strong, but not overpowering. Relatively uni-sex, but masculine enough.

Other than that, I'm the same as you. I'm focused on finishing tubs of soap, not buying more, although I have started to get the itch to buy some tried-and-true scents from Chiseled Face. I got samples of Bespoke #1, Sherlock, and Topanga Fougere recently and they're all great. Bespoke and Topanga come from the LASSCO line, which he just started making in his Chiseled Face soap base.

I have never been disappointed by B&M. I’m a fan of florals so this sounds like something I could get into.

I keep seeing Moon soaps which has a couple scents I’ve been interested in mostly Union and Bixby sound appealing to me.

I haven’t tried any Chiseled Face soaps yet and I see that top of the chain has Topanga Fougere in stock that sounds like something I may enjoy.

Thank you.
