Nice Natural/Vegan soap with a nice lather accomplished with a scoop in a bowl

I’ve only seen the bottom of one tub of Stirling.  In fact it was one of the first soaps I purchased when returning to traditional shaving many many years ago.  I finished that tub of Margaritas in the Arctic and am half way through its replacement.  I picked up this tub of Gin and Tonic in Provo Utah at a place called Mini Moustachery and I have to say, the scent is just amazing.  If you like juniper, this is your vehicle baby!  Put some citrus on top of the juniper and this soap and aftershave are challenging for “favorite scent” honors.  Now if Rod would just put this in the sheep soap line up it’d win hands down.  I feel smooth, refreshed, and invigorated.  (No, it’s not boozy).

Ethos Fresco…to give me a sense of spring when I woke up to an ice storm…

Sudsy Soapery: Rose & Black Pepper

A new rose, with a nice strong black pepper thanks to Matt for highlighting this one. My first usage, and I did not get the lather wet enough. It was too peaky, and caked on me while shaving. The soap is quite soft and I must have pulled a tablespoon off the puck & into the brush. Will try again on another Thursday. I would have called this soap Black Pepper with Rose.... , so if you boys are scared of smelling like Karen, you won't with this product as the pepper is pretty strong. It is a nice autumn or winter rose.

C U all tomorrow

Interesting, Tommy. I think you got my black pepper and I got your rose. Mine is 95.5% rose and I would have to really go digging for the other 4.5%.

On the softer side of the spectrum, as you alluded to. But wouldn't say it's one of my "easy to overload" soaps.

Did you bloom it? I could see that causing this to overload.

Try this again soon, my friend. I have to believe that you will love it as I do. Ymmv though, of course.

(In any case, I'm also excited to see your thoughts on the Beef Tallow formula. And the Mango Butter formula, if you got any of that.)


EDIT: Ditto this to Highspeed. Hmmm we definitely have different batches, Gents! Mine is unquestionably rose...only question is if it's ONLY rose.

Good advice Matthew. Will try again next Thu°Rose°Day

That is very interesting [pepper] - think that is the delta with artisan offerings and the big boys - differences in batches.
Almost worth shipping you my puck to verify. I think i will after use #2.
