An exceptional value, particularly if you are ordering GEM blades from Connaught Shaving and need to meet the free shipping minimum! Face lathering a breeze for an easy peasy two-pass shave.

Vetiver (Mike’s Natural Soaps) nutty vetiver
Shave 23 ・ 85% left
Long, long ago I stayed in a place with bath mats made of woven vetiver root. When I stepped out of the shower and placed my wet foot on their prickly surface, they gave off a powerful reek of oil, weeds, and smoke. My callow nose wasn’t ready for anything quite that raw. I remember giving an ‘ugh’ and then rinsing my feet under the tap. That was the first time I smelled vetiver, and the memory stuck. For years, whenever I sniffed a vetiver cologne, all I could think of was that damp and dirty bath mat. Not really the sort of scent I wanted on my face. Luckily, I got past it. How? Slapping Mike’s Vetiver around my chops helped me appreciate all the varied notes that are tucked into pure vetiver oil. It’s a complete fragrance all by itself from its bright citrus top to its dark rooty base. Now I adore it, and wouldn’t you know, I keep a tuft of raw vetiver root in the bathroom and another beside my computer.
