What soap/cream did you use today?

Question for you Marko ... How does this one smell? Is it sweet? I've almost jumped on it a few times, but you don't see it as frequently as other LJDJ soaps. Glad to have someone to ask, finally.

Wholly Kaw Monaco Royale

The Florida Water AFS is a very good fit with this flavor of the Kaw. Don't see any boys use this around these here parts. Purty niiiiice.

C U all tomorrow

Ethos Vanilla Safi.  It's like diving into a vat of freshest natural vanilla.  It's the smell that hits you when walking into a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shoppe. None of that cloying sharpness of synthetic vanillas.  Delicious. And, suffice it to say, a fine fine base.  A fine fine shave.

Truly believe this to be king of soaps at moment. Nothing compares. It outrageous cost but great value as one usage reveals where every cent went. Love my samples, including your provision.

Caswell-Massey - RÒS (soap by The Holy Black)

Very interesting!  How was the scent and performance?

I really like these soaps. Basic formula, but very capable and absolutely no issues during or after.
Not a straight rose... Has a similarity or two to C&S No. 88... but not the same.
As you can see, the scent is made for the New York Botanical Garden. I also have this scent in the shave cream (not a lathering type, but I have used a brush once) and aftershave. All quality stuff.
I'm impressed with the Caswell-Massey shave line right now. I have a lot of it in the various scents. No regrets.

If anyone is interested, Caswell-Massey is having a sale for Father's Day with code HMGG20.

Mandarino Fumo (Ethos) cocoa honey tobacco
Shave 2 ・ 135 g left

Look at the label. That toasted paprika background tells you Mandarino Fumo is going to be a very dark fragrance. It reminds me of dried chilis roasting on the comal until they’re almost black. I can see why Frank considers this an autumn scent. But doggone, I can’t wait for the chilly air and the golden leaves. I want some Fumo now. So for today’s shave I had to do something to lift the scent and make it suitable for a bright summer day. Solution? I added a wee dab of Ethos Blood Orange shaving cream to Mandarino Fumo. Wow! It really brought out the citrus notes and brightened up the scent overall. I loved the result so much, I took three full laps around my chops, something I hardly ever get away with anymore. My cheeks will probably be chiding me later on, but man, it was worth it.
