A couple of days ago I melted some Colonel Conk glycerine soap in a mug, two pucks of bay rum and one of lime. The soaps were 20 years old and had changed colour but they still smell as good as I remember. Not exactly the thickest lather—it was plentiful but not as stiff as one likes.
No matter, I just did it to enjoy the scent again.

Colonel Conk Bay Rum?
That reminds me.
I must have tried the the Colonel’s Bay Rum shaving soap about 17 years ago.
At the time I thought it was a pleasant scent, but the soap never made it into my regular rotation.
After that, I mainly used glycerine soaps (e.g. Ach. Brito Glyce) to wash my face before the shave and soften the whiskers.
Still have a few pucks of Glyce lying around somewhere in one of my drawers.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

I can’t begin to tell you the last time I’ve seen Colonel Conk, shave soaps mentioned
