Rose theme today scentwise. I've had this soap for a while, it's actually on the old Chicago grooming base, not the new one, and use it sparingly cause I never saw it available after I bought it. But - I saw that it was available recently in the new base (sold out currently). Hoping it's available again soon and I can grab some. Scooped so as to use as little as needed, into the Captain's Choice bowl and loaded and lathered in the bowl.

Yes, I bought it very shortly after it came back. It smells the same to me. If I understand the situation correctly, it's supposedly from the same producer, but a different wholesaler? I've seen some people mention they think it seems weaker now and I don't think so, mine seems fine strength wise.

Thanks for linking to WSDB. I haven't posted SOTDs since trythatsoap was a thing and was wondering if there was a tool like that around.

Sup nerds. I just joined this community or whatever you call them on Lemmy.

2026 is a shitshow. So I'm trying to make myself do stuff that is fulfilling and not draining, not be a recluse, and also use less corporate social media (and corporate goods and services in general). So anyway hello.
