What soap/cream did you use today?

Oud Neroli v. (Le Père Lucien) ★★★★☆ oud, neroli, musk, cardamom

This is vastly superior to the soaps I got from LPL a few years back. The lather is copious, stable, cushiony, and slick. It also lasts a full three passes without showing signs of deteriorating into a foamy wisp. And finally, it shaves close and finishes smooth without the least hint of grease. I love it.

One part I haven't come to terms with is the scent. The musk clobbers the other notes. I don't get much neroli at all, and the synthetic oud, if it's in there, doesn't even take a stab at smelling authentic. To me, this soap smells like aerosol antiperspirant from the 1970s. You got a hankering for shaving with Right Guard, have I ever got a soap for you.

Finished this soap today.  Been working on it for about two years now.  Soap Commander Relaxation has main accords of white tea and ginger.  I really enjoyed the light scent and the shaves were ok.  Lathers easy but this is one of those soaps hat your lather will look passable but ignoring that and loading more soap makes it much better.  I found that loading drier and adding water more slowly yielded a better lather for me.  Too quick on the water yields copious lather that is airy and not slick enough.  Won't spend a long time on the scent because it has been long discontinued.  I assume because most like stronger scents.  So long SC Relaxation.  You treated me ok.

If you're looking to boost the quality of lather with the same/similar scent, I would humbly suggest Mystic Water's White Tea & Ginger soap.
