Like you, I feel like I can make almost any soap work. I think Tusk is fine, but not top tier for me. I assume Vida uses Ben’s formula when she makes it. Her Darkwing base, OTOH, is top tier for me. Ben’s fragrances with Vida’s Darkwing base would be a great match for me. He should just offer that option.
It’s definitely his recipe, Vida just does the work. Tusk has a lot of fans, at least on r/wetshaving, so from a business point of view he probably doesn’t have much need for change.
I know he was working on a vegan version of Tusk for a while, but it hasn’t come to fruition yet.

Have you tried Armonía?
No I haven’t, but that’s first on my list. I have only heard good things about this.
It certainly fits the bill with an amazing scent from Ben and the Darkwing base from Vida.
