What soap/cream did you use today?

Why Orange Chill?  First off, I like menthol but Stirling Glacials, although fun sometimes, are cold enough to be distracting and so I no longer have any.  If I wish to kick any soap into the “glacial” category I can add menthol crystals.  However, Stirling’s “chill” soaps have enough menthol to get my attention without blurred vision.  The scent on this one is a complex......orange.  Ok, so it’s not complex.  Top note is orange followed by a heart note of orange....well, you get the picture.  Gladly though, it’s a very pleasant orange and I liked the last puck of it so here is its replacement. 

I'm in total agreement with you on those Stirling Glacials. Reminds of riding my snow machine through a Wyoming blizzard without a face mask. The Chills are the way to go! In fact, sometimes even the Chills are too cool for my taste. I like to cut them with a non-mentholated soap. A few years ago I blended half a puck of Orange Chill with half a puck of Stirling Piacenza to create a cooling – but not distracting – Acqua di Parma Colonia(ish) chiller. That was some nice shaving!

Himalayan Heights v. (Meißner Tremonia) deodar cedar

The deodar is a towering Himalayan cedar. It won’t flourish below 5,000 ft., but on the rocky slopes of Himachal Pradesh, it can grow up to 200 feet tall. The name comes from Sanskrit and means the “divine wood” or “wood of the gods.” While the outer wood is used for building boats, the fragrant inner wood is made into incense or distilled into essential oil. I ordered some of this oil the other day just to see how close my jar of Himalayan Heights matched the scent of the deodar tree. In fact, it’s spot on. The oil has a smooth, round, almost gentle cedar scent – a soft-spoken companion to the more pungent lowland varieties of cedar from Morocco, Virginia, or Texas.

I saw this one at Pasteur, is this the Patchouli or LemonGrass scent? Performance?

Is that possible with the croap consistency of Ethos?

That's what I said, but Frank claims many do. I believe it was in this thread. Hmm...

Edit: Found it!

Hi Tommy
... Let me also say Melange Di Agrume is one of the softer batches of this base I’ve made but I have quite a few customers that do load from the jar and I’ve done it myself only you have to do it gently until you get the right amount of soap on again a damp brush. Myself and a whole lot of my customers can load the Clean and Lavender out of the jar with no problem.
