Reaching out to anyone that is willing to send a smush of anything B&M or that has a legal theme that I don’t have.

I have the following B&M:

Seville
Le Grand Chypre
Spice

I have a theme I’m trying to rock for LG.

[u/partyman97_3 → u/mpark6288]

Are you looking for any certain thing? If not I can send you a picture of what I have?

[u/mpark6288 → u/partyman97_3]

Especially looking for anything we can’t get any more, plus the current releases I don’t have—primarily Cheshire, Muire Wood, and Waves.

[u/partyman97_3 → u/mpark6288]

I don't have Cheshire or Muir wood. And I don't have waves but I have reserve waves. Will that work?

[u/mpark6288 → u/partyman97_3]

I would absolutely love that, thank you. Anything you’re looking for?

[u/partyman97_3 → u/mpark6288]

I haven't looked anything over yet. After I do I will probably hit you up, LOL.

[u/snoooting → u/mpark6288]

I can send you some smushes, these are the tubs I have currently:

• 42
  
• Cheshire
  
• Fougere Angelique
  
• Lavanille
  
• Leviathan
  
• Lime
  
• Nordost
  
• Red Letter Day
  
• Roam Two
  
• Spice
  
• Ubrique

[u/mpark6288 → u/snoooting]

I would love Cheshire, 42, and Nordost if you’re willing.

[u/snoooting → u/mpark6288]

Definitely, I'll get these to you in the next week or so.

[u/tsrblke → u/mpark6288]

I have diamond, could probably be worked in somewhere and could swap you for Le grand chypre if you wouldn't mind.

[u/mpark6288 → u/tsrblke]

I would trade you a smush for a smush if you want some LGC.

[u/tsrblke → u/mpark6288]

Would be perfect. LGC solves the problem for me that I never know what a chypre is....

[u/mpark6288 → u/tsrblke]

It is nice they label it!

[u/Environmental-Gap380 → u/tsrblke]

You kind of have to do a lot of reading. I keep meaning to log my fragrances with style and scent notes. I’ll get around to it eventually.

[u/tsrblke → u/Environmental-Gap380]

Splash and frag are always the hardest parts for me.

[u/hugbckt → u/mpark6288]

I have a few that others haven’t offered:
Oceana
Sunny Lane
O Delight
The Full Measure of Man
Season of the Witch

[u/mpark6288 → u/hugbckt]

I’d love a smush of delight and full measure, if you’re willing!

[u/hugbckt → u/mpark6288]

Sending you a DM

[u/mpark6288 → u/hugbckt]

Thanks! Also, I just realized my plan for non-citrus contains bergamot, so if you have a smush of something fruity but not citrusy I’d be in your debt!

[u/tsrblke → u/mpark6288]

Smash. I can send that if you need it.

[u/mpark6288 → u/tsrblke]

Would love that, thank you!

[u/hugbckt → u/mpark6288]

Sure thing. I DMed you on discord.

[u/Environmental-Gap380 → u/mpark6288]

Oh that might be tougher. Citrus is in so much even if it is just background.

[u/mpark6288 → u/Environmental-Gap380]

Right? I was going to use Crangere but then saw it has bergamot.

[u/hugbckt]

As always, people are welcome to contact me if they need smushes. I have a lot of soap that’s not going anywhere fast.

I may not be as helpful on the hardware front, but since I am not playing to win this year, I have more flexibility to lend things out. Known members of the community are welcome to hit me up for that.

[u/Allisnotwellin]

With the recent loss of the traveling pif I'm in need of a few smushes

• tea/ coffee
  
• non citrus fruit
  
• Chypre
  
• Blind date :)

Brands I don't have or would appreciate trying would be

• Seaforth
  
• Chicago grooming
  
• Cajun Blade
  
• Hearth and Altar

I am happy to send a few as well, I have most brands and if anyone needs the Halloween themed days I have a nice little fall/ Halloween collection to choose from

[u/Just_Bit2698 → u/Allisnotwellin]

I can send you all 4 of those and wouldn’t mind some Halloween stuff.

[u/Allisnotwellin → u/Just_Bit2698]

Sounds great. I'll send PM

[u/yamad]

Reaching out to source a few smushes for my first LG:

• Blind Date
• Accountabilibuddies
• Adopted Acres (anything, esp. Rookie Card)
• House of Mammoth (anything, esp. Rumble or Shire)
• Seaforth (anything, esp. Sea Spiced Lime)
• Halloween or autumn themes

Let me know if you want to setup any trades. I have more Stirling and more classic soaps (MdC, MWF, Cella, MdC) than the modern artisans, but a few scattered BM, AE, etc lying around.

[u/Tetriside → u/yamad]

I have Shire, Sea Spice Lime, and Sea Ice Lime. I can send you something for Blind Date and Accountabilibuddies. What Stirling, BM, and AE scents do you have that could work for a theme?

[u/yamad → u/Tetriside]

Great! I can send a Blind Date, plus a few things from here:

BM Nordost, AE SoCal Hipster, Stirling Lime, Evie, Duchess, orange Chill, MITA, Triumph, Gatlinburg, Praia, Barbershop, Sheep, Cool Blue, Campania, Piacenza, Sharp Dressed Man, Deep Blue Sea, Christmas Eve, Ozark Mountain, Coniferous, Haverford.

I've hit a lot of the themes out of that list, so lmk

[u/Tetriside → u/yamad]

How sweet is Praia? I'm eyeing it for Sweetest Day. Barbershop or Cool Blue would be good. I'm debating which themes the Hearth and Altar scents would fit. Shadows is probably safe for Woods. I wonder how figgy the Fig and Tobacco is.

[u/yamad → u/Tetriside]

Praia is definitely a gourmand and is marketed as such. That said, it sits on a sunscreen/beachy base, so it doesnt give sure-I'd-eat-this vibes. I think Almond Creme comes off as a straighter sweet marzipan candy.

For woodsy, Coniferous and Ozark Mountain are down the middle shots IMO. I can wait until I have the Hearth and Altar samples in hand if you like. I'll say that I got those for more of the non-scent themes and for personal interest.

[u/yamad → u/Tetriside]

I also just put in an order for Hearth and Altar samples (Shadows and Sandalwood, Coconut Lime, fig and tobacco, Aegean spice)

[u/solongamerica]

Hello Fellow Wet Shavers!

There are several new sponsors (and a few veteran sponsors) whose soaps I don't have. I'm curious if anyone could send smushes of:

Adopted Acres (anything)

Cajun Blade (anything)

Chicago Grooming (anything but especially AG 1889)

Hearth and Altar (anything)

Razor Emporium (anything but especially Old School...cause I'm kinda old)

I'm happy to trade smushes from my modest but expanding den. I have soaps from a number of the sponsors, plus an assortment of other stuff.

[u/Environmental-Gap380 → u/solongamerica]

I can split some of my samples of Adopted and Cajun blade. I have a few CG too I can send I’ll make a list when I get home.

I too would like 1889, Hearth and Altar, and Razor Emporium.

Edit:
Also I usually vacuum seal the samples, so they get really flat and can usually fit an envelope without needed special handling.

Edit 2: CG soaps I have are:

Montrose Beach
Shiloh
Discordia
Caoba
Armonia
Boinaire

[u/hugbckt → u/solongamerica]

I can send both you and u/environmental-gap380 some Hearth & Altar.

I have samples of:

• High Olympus Fougère
  
• Liminal Black Fig & Tobacco
  
• Radiant Citrus
  
• Captivating Coconut Lime
  
• Wildwood Huntress

[u/solongamerica → u/hugbckt]

Thanks so much! High Olympus Fougère happens to be the one I had in mind. Will message you.

[u/Environmental-Gap380 → u/hugbckt]

They all look like good choices. Love fig scents, and the Wildwood huntress intrigues me with the birch, vetiver, and patchouli.

[u/hugbckt → u/Environmental-Gap380]

Happy to send you both to try.

[u/Tetriside]

I haven't bought new soap in a while. There's several new sponsors I haven't tried. I'm looking for help with:

• Adopted Acres
• Cajun Blade
• Hearth and Altar
• Razor Emporium
• Maggard (I only have Lilac, which doesn't fit the calendar)
• Breast Cancer Awareness
• Blind Date
• PIF Day
• Non-citrus fruit (would Socal Hipster work here?)
• Sheep-ruh
• Monster Mash
• Pirate Day

[u/tsrblke → u/Tetriside]

I'm snagging a Stirling sample of one of the lady's scents in my coffee order if you want a chunk I can cut it off and send it. I also have Cajun Blade revolution and nazimpique.

[u/Tetriside → u/tsrblke]

That would be awesome! I'm not seeing a Cajun soap called Revolution. Is it Defending Liberty?

[u/tsrblke → u/Tetriside]

Yes. I got it confused with the bubbles one. I have both.

[u/Tetriside → u/tsrblke]

Okay. The fragrance sounds interesting, but doesn't hit a specific theme. So, it'd have to be New Year, PIF, Reckoning, etc. I wonder if I could argue Nezpique is nautical for Pirate Day...

[u/tsrblke]

I could use a smush if Razor emporium fireside and any of the adopted acres barbershops if anyone wants to help me. I have other stuff I can send out.
