First use of the "Hierbabuena (spearmint)-Mango-Lima" mentholated soap, after using yesterday the "Fauno". Both are the creation of Elena of "Jabones by Luna" and if yesterday I had such a good first experience, today's was by no means short of wonderful. If there is something to be highlighted is the level of slickness and protection, but it also lathers like a champ and has a wonderful scent. In the tin, all the flavours can be detected, but once lathered it's the spearmint that becomes prominent. After rinsing up, the mango and the lime come back again. Menthol level is medium to high. Don't think "glacial" or expect to be in tears whilst shaving because that won't happen. You'll be cool enough, though. Three passes and touch ups for a BBS shave.

This Omega was one of my first brushes, and it's still my favourite boar. So incredibly soft she is.
