If you have not tried Otium, it is one of the best I have ever tried!!

You bet Smile One of all-time favorites.

....But can you point out a matching frag? Smile
Grey Flannel is the only one that has been recommended so far, by others. I figure the man behind the creation would know best.  Winking

Much appreciated. Seems like it's a women's fragrance though. 
Hopefully, I can find something more masculine, which probably isn't easy with these notes. 
The hunt continues.  Smile

I have so many Grooming Dept soaps that I have to sell some of them. The mallards are my favorite.

I'm glad you got some Smile Thank you for your business. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm slowing down with my updates and formula releases - I'm restraining myself Smile Nai, Kairos, and once Mallard is released will be stable without updates, for a while. But as you have probably noticed, other artisans have gotten in the habit of updating their formulas at a quicker pace than they used to.

As one of the testers during the development of the Kairos base, I told Mohammad that Kairos deserved at least a score of 101. Thus, I was elated when it was scored  102.

Ruds currently has the Nai base scored at 100 based on his evaluation of Nai Aion which was Nai version 1. While I think that is appropriate for Aion, I consider the  update to Nai represented by the Otium scent to be even better. Thus, I believe the new, improved Nai is a candidate to receive a 100+ score as well, perhaps even another 102.  Before I tried Nai, I considered vegan soap bases to be inferior to tallow soap bases. However, I now know that a talented artisan like Mohammad can make a vegan soap every bit s good as tallow, perhaps even better.

For those of you who like the Mallard soap base, Mo is working hard on improving that one as well. I'll get my hands on one of the development formulas later this week. I am not quite sure what Mohammad has planned this time. It is supposed to offer an alternative to those who do not necessarily want what Kairos tallow or Nai vegan have to offer.

I just got a sample of the new Mallard today from Mohammad so I will shave with it Wednesday. I also just received the pass around new Stirling razors so this next shave will be a lot of fun!!
