I think straight rose would be good...so many good rose scented soaps. I liked the smell of Klar Kabinett, Manuel did Rosas through Jabonman, LPL Rose de Pushkar, Coral GFT, Morningston did one but I forget the specific name.etc. Do your magic Frank! I'm sure whatever you come up with will be a solid one. I'm curious if it will for some reason end up better suited in a softer base or as a cream. Sorry for the random thought

I've had some Rose shave soaps like MDC and a couple of others that were not all Rose but with other notes in them and I also have the Vintage AOS Rose Shave Cream and I'm pretty sure based on price MDC aside that there is probably little if any real Rose EO in them but more Rose accords or Fragrance oils. What I have in mind is a 100% pure Rose using some little tricks I'm working on that won't take the price way up in Exotic price territory. You make a good point on using this in a Tallow Shave Creme as we have discussed before that in a creme you wouldn't have to use so much of the Aroma ingredients as I'd be putting it in at room temperature. So a good environment for many weak EO's but Rose is not weak so it can go in a Shave Soap like the F Base and maybe a Shave Creme as well as I know a lot of folks like Shave cream.
Thank you Zack for your input.. I like to hear from members.
Great Shaves!

Dan are you referring to the Tallow creme or the Vegan Creme?
I can say that some of my customers that have the tallow shave creme are learning how to lather it and once mastered it is a whole different animal.
Get out of the shower or wash the face as a pre shave prep. Only blot the face and don’t wet it. Mix the lather and use it on the damp face and it will create a very nice rich slick lather. I tried this method and it works great. Give it a try if you have the Tallow based Blood Orange.

Thank you for the input.
I’m hoping to put it in my F Base and still have a good strong pure Rose Aroma. Like I said I have this technique I want to try so I can keep the costs down to a reasonable amount.
I at some point would love to make a Aroma Blend where I’m using a good amount of Rose but blend in other essential oils and absolutels etc. but this one I’m going for a straight pure Rose with no synthetics in it.
