Great soap and worth every dollar.(11-08-2019, 05:05 PM)Tidepool Wrote: Grooming Dept.What are your impressions of this soap? Is it worth that kind of money?
Absinthe t. (Lisa's Natural Herbal Creations) star anise, cinnamon, clove, fennel, amber
It says “Absinthe” on the label but this soap really smells like Five Spice Powder (五香粉). What’s that? It’s a Chinese spice mixture that finds its way into many oriental recipes. The five spices are star anise, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, and fennel. We go through a big jar at New Years, flavoring everything with it from boiled beef to fried chicken to eggs. In fact, it’s not unusual to find a shaker of it right next to the salt and pepper in many restaurants around here. And now it’s in my shave soap. I’ve got no complaints other than I was expecting absinthe. Now that I’m over the surprise I’m happy to start the day smelling like braised beef shanks.
Lisa’s lather is among the very best on my shelf. Rich with aloe, tallow, lanolin, mango butter, calendula, green tea, ivy extract, and orchid extract, this soap makes some outstanding lather. It’s dense and glossy and fine grained. The best part is the ultra-smooth finish.
