Mystic Water Soap Leather & Smoke
![[Image: kZILnOD.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/kZILnOD.jpg)
The first couple of times using this soap with a horse hair brush, I had some surprising lathering issues. (And this is the new Mystic Water Soap formula.) This time I decided to try distilled water and load the brush to oblivion. That did the trick. I know it wouldn’t have been difficult, had I used a synthetic brush, but I guess I can be a bit stubborn at times.
The scent of this soap is absolutely gorgeous. I don’t pick up much smoke, and I don’t mind that, because the leather scent is so beautiful and real, with just a little bit of sweetness thrown in to round it all out.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

Eucris cream (Geo. F. Trumper) black currants, oakmoss, steel wool
(Day 2) — This is the fragrance James Bond famously wore in Ian Flemming’s Diamonds Are Forever. Eucris is a steel-plated cologne with enough metallic notes embedded in the moss, herbs, and berries to turn back any calibre of hot lead. But when I took my first sniff of it, instead of smelling Dr No’s villainous hideout or the elegant Casino Royale, I got the impression that I was back in my grandfather’s garage. Grandpa never owned a car, and the horses stayed in the barn, so there was no need to keep the garage tidy. You pried open the double door and a great wave of odors redolent of hot Western Americana poured over you: rusting garden tools, dried currant vines, bottles of jam, cracked leather saddles, and half-tanned deer hides, all lying in heaps on the dirt floor. It was about as far from Bond’s suave image as you could imagine, but just as dark and mysterious.
