Haymarket Vetiver t. (Shannon's Soaps) citrus, oakmoss, vetiver

The soap looks like the insides of a Fig Newton. You wouldn’t think you could really make much of it. But give it seventy swirls with a wet brush and you’ll have the makings for an exceptional lather – fine grained, thirsty, and plenty slick. Give yourself about ten minutes to perfect your batter. It likes to sip rather than gulp down the water you give it. And the smell? I get a nice jolt of citrus, something that smells like turpentine, and loads of pungent vetiver. It’s very nice.

This scent has interested me for a long time.  I already know it like Shannon’s soap.

Decided to give the Marco method a try today after reading Bouki's on it.  Holy cow...that creates ALOT of lather!  First pic is after 70 opr so swirls and scooping out all the lather from the tub.  2nd pic is after a good 10 to 12 minutes of face-lathering.  I only dipped the knot tips once into sink water
