Dulci Tobacco (Wholly Kaw) Tobacco Tuesday
Shave 2

I smell sweet hay, florals, and tobacco, with a subtle medicinal undertone. While unexpected, this last note isn’t unpleasant. Overall, this cream has the aroma of pipe tobacco, the kind you used to find next to the register at the pharmacy. Building the lather was effortless. Even half an almond-sized knob would have produced plenty.

Hello FaceScraper,

I use LEA soap puck as my summer soap.  I like the light scent and the slight menthol effect.  Doesn't do a great job in softening the beard but it lathers like crazy and cleans up nicely.  I saw that you use LEA aftershave in your SOTD post.  Can you give a brief description?


Thanks

A quick look at both the soap and A/S scent descriptions online makes it sound like the splash mirrors the soap scent. I enjoy the scent, and have no other products that smell anything like it. The menthol is a perfect level for me (not a menth-head, myself). It provides some cooling effect, yet certainly doesn't hit anywhere near the level of the face freezers, such as Stirling Glacial. It's enough to be noticed, and not enough to be distracting with the scent either. I don't pick up any menthol in the scent. 

Either a pro or con, depending on how you view it - the scent doesn't hang around all that long. After about a half-hour, I no longer notice it. It does leave the face feeling great, though. 

Hopefully my half-baked take on the splash is enough for you to form an opinion on buying or passing. At least it's inexpensive enough that it's a small gamble. I'll take it a step further...if you do buy it, and don't like it, I'll buy it from you.

This is one of my favorite tobacco scents.

Spent the past 4 days with this travel setup.  If I can find a small travel container for the soap, i may have found my perfect travel soap

We all know Stirling has great products.  But there is just something about this Mutton Tallow that really takes their soap to another level  

I too find mutton soaps a bit better
