Goodfellas Smile’s Formula AJ-1 is one of the soap bases that started off my Wetshaving journey before finding the sub. At the time, I struggled to get decent lathers with the base. I had no real frame of reference for good, so I didn’t really know how bad they were. This morning’s lather was rich with the advantage of several years experience.
The scent of Amber Fougère started well enough as an orange fougère, but then slowly devolved into the smell of a citrusy household cleaner. In fairness, this is probably just a personal hang-up, having something to do with an unknown scent from my past.
I finished up with Logbook, a prime example of how to add orange to a fougère.
