What is the scent strength and match like on the soap please?I received some Escence of Ginger tallow shaving soap in an Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce fragrance and a couple new razor handles, a Brad Sears with a 'Damascus Steel' pattern and a Windrose Z1 satin stainless.

I haven't used it yet, but in its dry state it has a moderately strong musky-spicy cologne fragrance to my nose. It is supposed to suggest A&F Fierce cologne, which I have never used. According to fragrantica, that cologne's main accords are woody, aromatic, and citrus, with lesser accords of musky and spicy. The comments on that forum indicate that it is a cologne mainly for very young men.
Thanks, it is one of my favourite colognes. I personally would place it as a sophisticated scent. Not a lot of musk at all to my nose.

I don't understand this. Can someone please post a link to the soap for me - sounds right up my street but I can't find it.

Trip to Lidl and I spotted this.
£1.29, made in England by Creightons. Smells nice too.

Yeah loads of peppermint, at £1.29 I couldn't say no. Mind you if SWMBO really knew how many balms I have on the go ?

Two Windrose handles.
While the Darwin inspiried Z1P will pair with different polished heads, the T-1 should match the pattern of the Timeless OC head quite well.
Best Regards
Marco
Do post a photo with it with the TL head mounted!

Many thanks. The ginger part is the company name and not two scents in one soap. I comprehend. Daft name, though, innit? Essence of Ginger Soap Co.
Please let us know if it is any good.

Barbaros TR1 razor (shipped 29th June from Turkey, delivered to me in UK 5th July), plus yet another Windrose handle; this time an S4P.
I've been holding off using my new Cadman beehive brush until the Barbaros arrived, so that I can give them a first use together.
