What soap/cream did you use today?

Crabtree & Evelyn Sweet Almond Oil shaving cream (vintage)

Murphy and McNeil are a boon to the shaving space.  Today was Gael Luc in the Kodak base.  Can you say super fat? I knew that you could.  This scent takes me somewhere but I’m not sure exactly where yet.  Perhaps it’ll come to me sometime during the day. Fruity top with a noticeable plum note if you like that.  Floral notes and wood that smells like probably sandalwood with amber sitting on top of it.  It definitely sits in the oriental group although spice is not a main player here.  Fresh Oriental.  It’s supposed to be a dupe of Claiborne Lucky Number 7 but having never sniffed I don’t know.  It is very similar to Fahrenheit though.  Great scent.  Now if I could just remember where it’s trying to transport me.....

Lip, been looking for a puck similar to Farenheit. Pretty good fit?

Maya t. (Tallow + Steel) lime, coffee, cocoa

Maya is a real chameleon. Sometimes it smells mostly of allspice, at other times all I get is coffee, but today for the first time I really noticed the citrus. This is a very earthy fragrance – 'floor of the jungle' is what came to my mind the first time I sniffed it. Tobacco and cardamom add even more weight. Without the lime and bitter orange lifting the other notes out of the dirt, Maya would be too dark and slithering. Thanks to the citrus, Maya comes across as something unique and exotic, a scent that will likely intrigue even the most well traveled nose.

Having spent some time on jungle floor, find the description interesting

I have several creams, and I like but don't love 'em.  Not close to a low profile yogurt like tallow face lather.

This Esbjerg cream did make a bubble free lather - very slick. Absolutely no post shave moisture though - very drying.

Smells great - I have  had it about 6 years. Should be done with this jar  by the end of summer. Will pick up another jar for the scent and ease of lather making. Good for travel and 'quickies"

C U all tomorrow

I have a bit of a Love/Hate relationship with Elan.  The performance and lather are really good and the scent of junipers is fantastic.  So why the "hate" part?  I just hate the fact it may not be available for purchase when this tub is gone and it may not ever be made again.  

I sure wish my experience with Elan was the same as yours.  I got it because of the Juniper but alas, my tub was so faintly scented as to be scent free.  Additionally, I have tried several other GD offerings and unfortunately they seem to dislike my water, my style, or just me in general.

Admittedly, I would prefer the scent strength be bumped up a couple notches but, thankfully, it's not on the low end of the range for my sniffer.

It’s not got the depth Fahrenheit has but it sure won’t spoil your efforts.  Soap scent doesn’t seem to linger.  Not exact but first cousins.
