    Glad to hear you’re still alive, but sorry about the car breakdown. That stuff really sucks.

    Amber Fougère by TGS was the first soap I used just a few times before unceremoniously dumping it in the trash bin. No skin reactions at all, but this scent is horrible IMHO. It’s rare that something actually makes me cringe and choke when I sniff it, but this soap managed it. Really putrid smell. Worst of all, since I had come in contact with it in the pretty early days of my wetshaving journey, it put me off all fougeres since I thought they’d be similar to that. Oh well, live and learn 😅

      I got used to the scent, even though I didn’t like it at first.

      But I have got either sunburn under my jawline, or irritation, froo the soap 👀

        I distinctly remember that the aftershave was way worse than the soap (cause yeah, it being cheap meant I would buy a full set back then) since it was reminding me of the smell of decaying flesh.

        Sunburn under the jawline is rather unusual… So far I had ears, neck, nose, top of my head (head shavers shouldn’t go out without sunscreen) but never the jaw/mouth area… I’d take a guess and blame the soap unfortunately. IIRC, most of the TGS soaps are quite heavy on the fragrance component.
