Wholly Kaw, holy cow! I guess I only thought I knew what my favorites were. Today, for the first time, I tried an offering from Wholly Kaw. Due to the price they want for a soap, I was expecting they should offer first tier performance. Well, they did. Scent was Man From Mayfair and aromatic fougere it is! The first note I get is licorice. I assume it's from basil. I get notes of lavender, moss, and sandalwood. The strength is medium strong and really opens up on lathering. I'm not sure I'd want a cologne in this scent but MAN I do like the scent a lot. Lather is low structure and dense. I didn't find it the slickest soap but it is plenty slick. Cushion is excellent. Post shave? Well now, this is a post-shave dream. Awesome feel in the post. But the lather felt great all the way through. Dang! I don't need more soaps but....
Cologne-Fougère v. (Le Père Lucien) lavender, rosemary, mint, hay, bergamot, green tobacco
This soap’s slim cushion rewards a light touch and a steady hand. If you’ve got your technique down pat, you can get a remarkably close shave with a comfortable finish. The scent off the puck is light green. It develops as you build your lather and comes out a pleasant vernal fougère. Smells like somebody's cutting alfalfa the next field over.
This is the recent version of C-F with Shea butter. That makes the soap fairly hard, so it's easy to load from this tiny tin. And it also makes the finish especially rich. A few twists of the menthol mill keeps it cool and clean.
