What soap/cream did you use today?

On the road this week and it was a quick trip so I carried on my bag.  That means a Gillette Guard razor, my travel brush, and a tube of Cremo Bourbon cream.  Meh.  Hey, it is slick and it will lather and the scent is awesome but it's more a grooming chore than the morning event I've come to enjoy.  I PIFed the big tube a while back but kept this sample so I could revisit it. Hey, I'm not missing the big tube and my friend loves it so win/win.  I'll kill this sample on this trip go back to Coates for my travel cream from here out.

Are you staying at a Marriott?  I snagged that same bar of soap from my hotel room last week  

Ha! Yes. You have a seasoned road warriors eye. Marriott in Kingston TN

Dark Limes v. (Mießner Tremonia) lime, clay, petitgrain

This soap's all about lime, but I get a green herby note, too. It's probably petitgrain, the essential oil extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. It’s name in literal translation means ‘little grain’. The ‘grains’ in fact were the tiny unripe oranges just forming on the branches. Nowadays these little fruits are left to ripen and the oil expressed from their mature rinds is sold as bitter orange. Oil from the ripe fruit is not as green nor as woody as petitgrain oil, which has a certain sweet sappiness that tempts me to leave the lid off this pot of soap for days on end.

This is a sample I received from the manufacture. Go to the Merchants thread and see if samples are still available. It is a good soap, great on the face and makes great lather (bowl). See if sample are still available. Really liked your shoes.
