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.

Stellar @Draco Noir - congratulations!
@Draco Noir, absolutely stunning, if it performs even half as good as it looks you're in for an amazing shave!

I've got a bad feeling about @Draco Noir he might become Butcher
otherwise that's a fantastic looking Suminigashi Kamisori 13/16"
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? ;-)

This is an older bottle. I think the newer ones are in the same bottles as the Fine splashes.
Okay then. Did you buy second hand??? All the ones I have (which aren't that old to be honest) are thusly:

Yeah I got it from someone I know over here. I think I prefer the older bottle. You can still see though it.Okay then. Did you buy second hand??? All the ones I have (which aren't that old to be honest) are thusly:
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.
