To me, the lathers I get from Catie's Bubbles are very similar to the lather produced from my Meissner Tremonia soaps...a "light" and "fluffy" style lather.  But I will admit, I have not purchased a CB soap in more than 5 years so maybe they've changed their formula like many other artisans.  

HS - agreed..... Both lathers are lacking in my view. I quickly used my stashes of these in the shower as there are too many great soaps to lather with these.

Give em another try.  Chris is making soaps that please me. And he does scent more consistently than anyone else in the biz.

I agree...of the few CB soaps I've had, I've always enjoyed the scents!

I bought this tub prior to Covid and still hadn't used it.  Decided I should break that streak today...

Why do I use this so often, when I have so many beloved and underused soaps? Well, I love this clean natural scent. And it sits next to the sink in arms' reach, ready for any time that I don't know what I want to use or that I don't have time but need a (fantastic) shave quickly. Delivers in spades, it doesn't miss anything: lathering, scent, performance, post.
 

Excuse me but we will need to reject this SOTD post due to a lack of any wildlife pictures. Nice shave

I hear ya! I have hardly even been going on walks, because of a hamstring pull and, more recently, crap weather.

Speaking of wildlife and crap, does anyone know who dropped this? I assume a fox or coyote. Right next to the hot tub. Sorry if this is breaking any rules, I am not aware.

Better call in Lipripper660.

Beauté Sauvage (Ethos) nag champa
Shave 1

Looking at the label, I got to thinking of a day at the zoo. I expected the fragrance would be something feral reeking of musk, castoreum, and leather. But that’s not where this scent is headed at all. Rather, Beauté Sauvage smells like the nag champa incense my wife burns when she does yoga. It starts out fresh and fruity with two bright citrus notes, bergamot and yuzu. They give way to ylang ylang and rose, a pair of floral powerhouses. After the shave, these bold floral notes settle down into spicy cardamom and turmeric. But what truly lingers in my brush is immortelle and resins (they bring up images of the Egyptian section in a museum for some reason). In others words, there’s a lot going on here.

Beauté Sauvage is beautiful, undeniably, but there’s a twist – this soap also reminds me of curry. Indian food has always been a favorite of mine. I enjoy the complex layers of rich flavor. This soap feels like a nod to those same comforting traditions. Big thumbs up for me.

Frank, have you altered your F-base recently? This soap seems especially slick. It gave me a marvelous shave today.

Received a lot of negative feedback from various respected shavers regarding the scent so used it with trepidation.

However, to my nose, it is amazing - one of best smelling soaps ever encountered.

Concur with Bouki on each element; were it a perfume, certain it would have originated in one of the top niche houses, it THAT well executed.

Don't get the curry reference to which many allude, perhaps because actually make Indian and Asian food from scratch.

Dave:

What is your opinion on this soap and aftershave?  I just picked up a set and am evaluating it.

The soap base is just great, nice creamy lather with good cushioning properties.  This scent is one of her best I have tried so far and especially coming after The Merchant.     I'm not good at scent notes, but I know when a scent elevates my shaving experience and this does.
