    One of the worst scents in a shaving soap I’ve ever used was the TOBS Sandalwood. Smelled like a truck stop urinal cake! AND… it wouldn’t go away. I smelled it on myself for several hours later that day!

    But on the flip side, the one tub of TOBS I kept was Jermyn St. Love that scent.

      Funny you say that, I got TOBS Sandalwood aftershave balm a few years back, when I was very new to wetshaving and it’s the reason why I long thought I hate the scent of sandalwood 😄

        Yeah, later I would learn that many “older” sandalwood shaving products just naturally had all those florals and other things in there.
