Musgo Real Cream v. (Claus Porto) dirty barbershop
This one walks a fine line between the barbershop and Woodstock. A big wad of patchouli gives it a dirty groove, while lavender and geranium keep it clean and green. Some shavers also smell spice, but I didn’t pick any up, and my skin wasn’t in the least bit bothered. In fact, I didn’t even use an aftershave since the cream is already rich with lanolin. If you like your lather smelling herby and a little bit dirty, this Musgo Real may be for you.

Lather is very creamy, but I have been adding a light smear or kokum and mango butter on top of the puck before blooming
Very interesting...how much are you adding? A peanut-size? Or much smaller?
Also to TommyCarioca
Below is a pic of my puck before I put any warm/hot water on it to bloom. The left white smear is the kokum butter and the mango butter is on the right. I just take my nail and scrape a bit from each tub of vegetable butter and then press it into the face of the puck. I didn’t do that in the picture so you could see the amount which maybe amounts to around a peanut. I think in my experience, a little bit does enough for me to notice the lather is maybe a bit thicker. I know Tom saw this so in case HoosierShave didn’t see this, you may want to see my video explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JEVHaiR7qs
Let me know if that helps or if you have any questions. Cheers
Nice report thanks.
