Bay Rum soap that smells like Derby City Small Batch Tonic?

Exactly this!
I have both and to my nose the WSP (formula-T) is slightly sweeter. Both are a great match and you can't go wrong with either

I was wondering if Chop Shop guys can be persuaded to bring out a matching soap in collaboration with any of the artisans. Wouldn't it be great?

Couldn't agree more - that stuff is great. Usually alcohol based AS dries me out, but I'm great with this stuff. Soap would be spot on!

Imagine if Mo at Grooming Dept did a Derby Chop Shop scented soap! OMFG! I would have this permanently in my rotation - the only scented soap!!!!!

Just an update on this - I've been using a Wholly Kaw King of Bourbon and it's a pretty darn close match.

Some Gentleman mentioned it being more vanilla heavy than Bourbon. Too much vanilla can give headache if not balanced properly. Whats your take on vanilla in the soap?

Never used WK soaps and been sitting on the fence for sometime.....

I'd agree that it's a little more vanilla heavy than the Chop shop stuff, but it's not enough that it bothers me. And I should say - I enjoy it much more on the face than smelling it in the tub. It is a little sweet in the tub - to my nose.
