What soap/cream did you use today?

Vulcano (Abbate y La Mantia) chilis
Shave 1 ・ 150 g left

This is supposed to smell like chili seeds, and it does to a point. But it also smells of black pepper, fennel, and most of all nutmeg. It took me a while to recall where I had smelled this combination of aromas before. It was very familiar, but I just couldn’t place it. And then yesterday as I curried some eggs I reached for the garam masala, and shazam!, I realized what Volcano is all about. The odd thing, though, is that Volcano, against all expectations, doesn’t smell warm. It’s like you’re sniffing cool spiced air. Odd but very agreeable.

Bouki,
Maybe I'm thinking of another, but does this smell like the ol' Polo Green??

Mondo Monday
Aqua di Parma

I haven't used this in years. Scent [almond] still strong. Performance grand. Forgot what a nice lather this baby produces..... very very similar to Boellis. The Italians know how to make tallow soaps.

Pretty sure no tallow in that there cream, Sir Tommy. (Rich, regardless!)

Hmmm.... you might have some other soap in mind. I don't think Volcano smells even remotely like Polo Green, alas.

As always I enjoyed your SOTD video Dave and I’m glad you enjoyed the Tortola and sample of the Bergamotto Tallow Shave Creme.  BTW I’ve got more of the Skin Food Splash in that. It might have showed sold out but I’ve got back up. 

Cool razor BTW.

Thanks Frank, I included a link to your site in the description so they'll see it if you update it as it's showing sold out right now (Bergamotto)
