Just added this new Body Shave Soap to the Her Shave Collection. This aroma blend is more on the feminine side but I’d called it unisex.  I really like the Her Shave Collection image as it’s not stereotypical of a woman shaving her legs. An I think Monica did a good job on the label. I had no input on this one. 

This was a whole new direction for me and I admittedly wasn’t sure about doing it but I’m glad I did. The soaps are selling well and the feedback I’m getting is very good. 

Just a note: most of the aromas are gender neutral and the ones that are more feminine are listed with that statement whereas the ones that are totally gender neutral are also listed in their respective Collections. Example the Greenfresh &Peppermint are not only found in the Her Shave Collection but are in the Chill Collection as well.

Awesome! Can I ask the scent notes? I figured it was straight peach, until Google translate told me it means Peach on the vine. Is it peach and grape or tomato or some other vine fruit?

You are definitely tempting me, lol. I love a sweet peach scent.

Hello my friend. 

Check out the aroma blend on the website. It’s not a super sweet peach. When I made it the other day I was driving home and that’s all I could smell and I’m like I have to take one home as I like anything Peach and especially eating a nice sweet Peach.  

BTW how’s that Sweet Lavender working for you?

I'm definitely a sweet scent fan, so it might not be for me. Then again, I do like Stirling's peach they released last year (sans the menthol). That one is very much a dry peach, sans sweetness. So, you never know. Lol.

If I'm being honest, it really isn't my cup of tea. Something about it is not the same (to my nose). There's notes, citrus in nature I'd gander, in the original bar soap. I cannot really detect them, at least not to the level of the bar soap. It carries a lot more typical Lavender than I'd hoped. I'm probably splitting hairs, but as I hate lavender but like the Yardley's, it's a very fine line for me and my odd nose. 

I absolutely appreciate your work on this. No one has even considered a Yardley's Lav dupe to my knowledge, until you did. That in itself is a huge milestone.

Thanks for checking in Frank!

So yes the Peach is not a super sweet peach but certainly not bitter either. 

As far as the Sweet Lavender I appreciate the feedback and we probably have different noses as I have a very good collection of the Yardley and when I smell them side by side it seems very close. I can assure you there is no citrus in there. It’s the powdery note that to me that separates the Yardley from a pure French Lavender like I use in the Lavender Supreme. I’ll have to bring in one of my vintage bar soaps again an revisit the scent to see how it smells now that I’m away from it for a while. 

Thanks for the feedback.

A quick update.

The 2nd batch of the Blood Orange Tallow Shave Creme is Sold Out. I’m going to squeeze in a 3rd batch between the 3 new F Base Shave Soaps I’m currently working on.

Thank you for the support and as always great shaves!
