Happy Thursday! Somehow I went from zero beer themed soaps to two. I already tried TSF’s Oktoberfest and it was not for me - straight Pilsner scent, nothing else, but I’ve been waiting to try this one from ZM. Off the puck this smells like a craft beer I would try - florals mix with the hops and beer. Lathered this was interesting. Kept the same general profile but hops came out more. Not sure if I like it, but don’t hate it. Very interesting and glad I grabbed a sample.

Passing on the theme - closest I have used to this theme would be Midnight Stag and Woodshop and passed on what remained of the samples because even the “barely perceptible hint” of oil in Woodshop was a screaming HELL NO for me.

The Tournament of Blades Fight 418, Round 1. Gillette - Platinum (Russia) vs Treet - Carbon Steel (Pakistan)
Unassuming R1. Gillette was fine minus some minor chin feedback issues. Treet takes R1 with better glide and smoother feedback.
Winner of R1: Treet - Carbon Steel
