It smells great and as you may have heard, cherry, almond, vanilla, etc. I will shave with it tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes. Dragonsbeard Great job on this. I'm glad you made it happen!
Thank you Zach and I’m glad I’m not the only one who picks up a cherry note in there. It wasn’t in the Tonka Bean Absolutee or the Tonka Bean Butter but it came through loud and clear in the Tonka Bean infusion I made and I’m almost 100% sure it’s coming from the Coumarin Crystals that came off the beans.
Oh and I’ll be curious to see what you think of the skin feel after the shave as to me it has as good a face feel as the Vanilla Safi and I suspect it’s because of the Tonka Bean Butter as it’s not only contributing to the Aroma blend but it is an extra butter in the shave soap that would not normally be there. On this theory I took some by itself and added a few drops to my post shave by rubbing it in my damp skin. I’ve been wanting to post about this and your post reminded me to bring it up.
Thank you!
