Traveling for the Holidays: What You Really Need!
Holy Black Halloween Set
Purchased the 2022 Halloween Set!. I’ll tell you my thoughts!
Seven Deadly Sins Shave Soap/Aftershave Pomade Sets:
Greed- Frankincense & Myrrh, The resinous fragrance is often associated with churches, the scent seems to change based on proximity to anything made of precious metals.
Lust– Ambretta Musk, the original aphrodesiac, and the only musk derived from grain, members of the opposite sex behave strangely when this soap is applied.
Sloth- Vanilla bean, sugar, molasses- as soon as this mixture is applied there is seemingly nothing in this world that requires immediate attention. All urgency dissipates from the mind.
Wrath– Fire and brimstone- this preparation induces furious anger as soon as you smell the smoke.
Pride– Narcissus- the bloom of the Narcissus is beautiful and poisonous, and using this soap seems to boost self confidence, yet in a dangerous way.
Gluttony- Dark Chocolate- They say the camera adds 10 lbs, but this preparation seems to make you feel as though you’ve instantly gained the same.
Envy– Rose- the king of flowers, this soap affects those around you and they will attempt to take what’s yours. Beware.
My Top Scents for Fall 2022
- PAA Pumpkin Soap/AS & More: Atomic Pumpkin Bay Rum is steeped in classic pumpkin pie spices for up to 6 weeks before the batch is complete; Allspice, Ginger, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg…minus the Clove! I felt rather than opt for a typical orange top note I’d Reach for Moro Blood Orange instead.
- Stirling Pumpkin Spice Soap/AS & More: A seasonal blend of pumpkin, all spice, and nutmeg. Pumpkin Spice fragrance is back to being the spicy version from 2014. Last year was more of a maple/syrup-y scent. Due to customer feedback, we have brought back the previous fragrance which has a heaping dose of spice.
- Barrister and Mann Hallows.
Black Friday 2022

Hi Joe,
I hope you and your family doing well this holiday season. Thank you once again for sending me the prize package a few months back for my wet shaving story.
I was listening to your podcast on the way home from my daughter’s hockey tournament when we heard the news about Central Texas Soaps closing. My teenage daughter was actually quite upset because the package you sent us contained a soap from Central Texas Soaps and it is her absolute favourite!
It’s funny how wet shaving has brought my whole family together in ways I never imagined!
Take care and happy holidays!
