The new base is a bit cleaner and lets the fragrances really shine. The previous base added a note that toned down/muted the fragrances a bit. Now that that is gone you'll experience the fragrances a bit cleaner and more refined. More similar to the aftershave scents.
Performance of the new base is absolutely outstanding, so it's certainly not a regression there at all. You can buy this one with confidence when it comes out knowing that the performance will be as good as it gets in comparison to everything else out there.
Personally, I put Tallow & Steel and Grooming Dept as my two best soaps with a noticeable lead over everything else ever made.
Thanks David! That really means a lot. I will be sure to send the new stuff your way to add to your passaround box.
I was very impressed with the Grooming Dept Mallard base - really exceptional stuff. Since he’s doing well, maybe he could afford to hire a graphic designer though... I kid Mohammad - damn good soap you make!
Thank you so much for the compliment Ryan. I'm delighted you enjoyed the Mallard base. All the best on your upcoming release. I have and love using the Maya jar I own. I certainly will pick up something from your new offerings.

It sounds like there is a story here that I’m unfamiliar with, but I think it’s best we don’t bring it up. Cheers

Thanks

The new base will have slightly redesigned labels and a different ingredients list. We will make sure that everything is clear and there is never any doubt about which base you will get.
I absolutely HATE the fact that we are even going to be selling two different bases simulatanously (temporarily) but there is really no other way around it. Unless we delay the release of the new products, or throw away a lot of labels, both bad options. I want to get everything changed to the new base as quickly as possible.

Cheers! We ship a fair amount to Finland, there must be a good community of wetshavers there.

Thanks! Likewise to you - all the best.

The new base won't make Boreal too much different - the new base helps more with brighter notes like citrus.
I think you're implying that you will stick with the current geographical theme, which I think is great. Very excited to try the new scents and my current favorites in the new base!
