I get very little if any lime scent at all.  I have used a tub of her regular lime in the past and it had a very strong lime scent.  I recall the Jeff's Lavender having a stronger lavender scent than the Lavender Lime.

Thanks Clint. I really like Lime scents but I must need something really strong for me to smell it.  Maybe it's a problem with my sniffer.

Wolverine , I would humbly suggest Stirling's Lime if you are looking for a really strong lime scent.

Thanks HoosierShave

Grafton Shaving Cream (Truefitt & Hill) tarragon fougère

A year of shaving with artisan soaps has taught me some valuable lessons in the art of building a lather. To get a thick, slick, yogurt of suds I should overload the brush, take time to build the lather, and use more water than at first seemed reasonable. This morning I found that these same principles apply to creams. I choked the brush with Grafton, swirled it a good five minutes in the bowl, and drowned it with a slow, steady drip, drip, drip of water. The results – a dense rich emulsion that looked nice enough to spread on a hot potato – rivaled anything I’ve ever conjured out of a scuttle.

The cushion, though, is still lacking. Ultimately, it seems that the protection a soap or cream offers is part of the formula, not the technique.
