Hi all,

Looking for some fall shaving soaps. Currently using a Phoenix Artisan Atomic Bay Rum, as well as Oaken Earth of Mankind and Far Afield.

They're all fine, but I would like some Fall/Winter scents. Maybe Stirling Gatlinburg? Up for other suggestions.

Edit - ok well shit. Bought Declaration Grooming Darkfall, as well as Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash and Necromantic. I will let you know what I think but I'm still up for winter suggestions.

I think they also have an after-shave balm in the same scent. Warm...but not heavily so. Great product. Very sophisticated scent profile w/o being obnoxious.

I am jealous of the manly beards that necessitate so much soap.

I'm in my 40s and I shave 2 or 3 times a week. (I don't have to be clean shaven every day for my job) My last puck of shaving soap lasted me well over a year - possibly closer to two years. It was long enough that I couldn't remember for sure when I started it.

Or are you guys using multiple picks and just throwing away/storing the old ones?

I purchased several pucks to cycle through because one scent for too long just gets old. I recently bought some Proraso products which I like a lot too.

They smelled like little old lady knick-knack halloween shops. Live and learn. And no, I don't grow an awesome beard and go through soaps like crazy, but I do get bored with the smells.

Southern Witchcraft apparently has some really good scents, but the one sample I tried was not to my taste. The soap quality is good though. I don’t think I would buy anything from them without trying a sample first. They apparently make some really rank ones.

At one time I had so many pucks that they many ended up going bad and had to throw them out. Now I usually rotate between 4 or 5 different soap pucks.
