Ditto. I'd even say that their aftershave is better than their soap. (Although their latest version of their soap isn't too bad.)

Funny you say that. I haven't tried a PAA soap. Mostly because I didn't expect them to be any better/as good as my current stable, which is primarily Shaver Heaven. I'll take that as confirmation.

I just made a purchase of a PAA soap, will let you know what are my thoughts. Stay tuned!

You sure know what to get don't you DN?! Amazing. A beautiful blade.
 
Mostly because I didn't expect them to be any better/as good as my current stable, which is primarily Shaver Heaven. I'll take that as confirmation.

I've only found one non-tallow soap that beats SH, and that's Jabonman (though Jabonman beat all tallow soaps as well and are my favourite to date). SH tallow is another level, so not fair to compare PAA to that.
 
Just noticed PAA are using new bottles! That sucks. The old ones are the perfect size/shape for my drawer and any new ones won't match. :-(
Looks opaque too - how I am supposed to know when it's empty? ;-)

A man after my own heart!

This is an older bottle. I think the newer ones are in the same bottles as the Fine splashes.

Mail call!

PAA Deja Fougere - the tonka bean here smells weird... Milk like? Not really close to the houbigant fougere royale imo

Eufros Haitian Vertiver - ginseng like bitter. Just the way I like it. Bitter rooty, earthy woody.

B&M arctique - smells just like something procured out of Northrend, for the lich king's daily shave. Fantastic!

Of the two samples of jabonman, gea and wet earth, I love wet earth. Gea is a little to flowery.
