I was going to bring my next Great Spice Off soap to shave with on vacation after doing the first shave with it but I realized I wouldn’t be able to really give it a fair go. Instead, I grabbed my sample of Summer Break Soaps Woodshop, a sample I picked up from Maggards Meetup where I also met u/rocketk455 and convinced him to make an Old Spice scent. Yup, you heard it hear first. 100% convinced him. It’s happening.
When I smelled this at Maggard’s I thought, “Yup, that’s a woodshop.” but upon actually giving it a sniff not surrounded by a million other scents and after lathering it’s more like woodshop but sexy. It’s like your woodshop instructor was the hot teacher and smelled really good. All the girls had a crush on this teacher and all the guys maybe thought about him too. It’s much more than just sawdust, for sure but clearly presents with wood as well. More thoughts after a few more shaves with but my only critique of this one is I wish the scent was a bit more.
I love this G5 knot so much. Wonderful scritch and perfect for traveling at a slightly smaller size. I brought the Henso because I wanted easy, no thought shaves ad it does deliver but I honestly really don’t like how little feel is on this. I did a rare third pass this morning because you really need to with it. On the flip side, you just don’t need to think and sometimes that’s for the best.

I really really like Woodshop.
