Second run with #BarristerAndMann #SmokingBishop. This soap is a nice, dark contrast to various other fruity soaps I own that are bright and cheery.

I used both the soap and the balm this evening. The balm is a titch brighter than the soap. Both are lovely. Most of the other fruity soaps I've tried are energetic or invigorating. This one is laid back and relaxing. Just right for a dreary winter day.

Mail call!

My #Maggard shipment has arrived. Very excited to try #BarristerAndMann #SmokingBishop. Picked up the soap and the balm. If it sparks joy, I may pick up the splash from #TopOfTheChain later.

Also picked up a dozen-ish #WhollyKaw samples and will eventually work my way through those.

After realizing I can use a different soap every other day for a full year without running out of soaps, I've decided it's time for a pause on new acquisitions.
