Continuing with the vintage trail today saw Avon Gentlemans Regimen hit the brush.  I don't know who made soap for Avon but I suspect Williams due to the similarities in performance (same) and the scent of that old soap. (Same). Lather came easy and was slick/protective and boy does the packaging knock it out of the park!

Soap Commander Endurance

Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna shaving soap (vintage)

Himalaya t. (Tallow + Steel) earthy spicy

A dozen fragrant oils went into scenting this soap. Himalaya is so complex at first it’s hard to understand what you’ve smeared all over your face. Sometimes you smell chocolate cake laced with tobacco and beeswax, other times you get jasmine and vanilla and labdanum, still other times it’s all about cedar, resins, and jam. I’d have nothing to compare it to if it weren’t for some Himalayan incense I just got in the mail. I’m burning a stick from a Bhutanese monastery now and I pick up the same melange of earthy, leafy, resinous, spicy wow. Both the stick and the soap are warm, spicy, and exotic. Save them for a cool morning.
