[CLOSED] Scheermonnik DFS Pass Around

Thanks, Josh. On deck for tomorrow is Soek!

SOTD
- BBS-1
- M&F 26mm Finest
- Scheermonnik Soek shaving soap
- B&M Reserve Spice AS

I'm continuing my review of Scheermonnik soaps and today used Soek. Soap description: "Scheermonnik Soek (Souk) is an artisan made shaving soap that is created in small batches in Holland with a blend of myrrh and orange with middle notes of ginger, cinnamon and cloves. It is then rounded out with caraway seed and vanilla to give it a warm, soothing feeling. This scent is a fine balance of spice, warmth and sweetness."

The soap performance was excellent (very slick!) but I hardly picked up any scent at all. Maybe a 2/10. It was like shaving 10 miles away from a Souk and trying to pick up the scents versus shaving in a Souk. What I did detect (spice cookies) was nice but it really needs to be dialed up. My favorite souk still remains - Mickey Lee Soapworks Souk.

Thanks Josh for the opportunity to try this out!!!

Who wants to be next in the pass along? I'll be using the last soap tomorrow.

I'm hoping someone else jumps in to experience the soaps.

SOTD with Sheermonnik Donderslag ("thunderclap"), a Dutch soap described as "a deep fragrance with black amber and Parisian lavender. Combined with these main scents is a mysterious black myrrh, dulcet vanilla, tonka bean, and a splash of Egyptian musk and clary sage."

For me the scent was vaguely floral with no prominent notes. Soap performance again was excellent. Very nice lather but I wish these soaps had more robust scents.

Thanks Joshua W Smith for the pass around!!

Who would like to join the pass around....?!!!

Thanks to all who participated. I am now going to close it and move it to another group. Thanks again!
