Shave 2
I'm reading Huckleberry Finn and I wanted a soap that would capture the scents described in the book. Gratiot League Square was perfect with its wood, leather, and tobacco notes. I can almost smell Huck and Jim floating down the river on their raft, enjoying a pipe at sunset.
Declaration Grooming’s milk steak base is just about the greasiest thing I’ve ever lathered. I mean that in a good way. It’s rich with butters and such and makes a splendid heavy foam. I only wish Scott would call it something different. The thought of a good steak seethed in milk churns my stomach.

One of my favorite scents that CL ever created! Especially love using Mystic Water Leather & Smoke soap with the GLS splash
It really IS all about that bass.

Oh wow! I'm a big fan of the Spaghetti Western movies! What's the scent like on this one? Scent strength?
From the website:
Rich Sicilian citrus (Bergamot, Lemon, sweet & bitter orange) top notes blend seamlessly with faint notes of tumbleweeds and the earthy scent of sun baked terra-cotta clay. Finally, a cloud of rich leather, suede and spent gunpowder envelop your senses.
The citrus notes are most predominant. Can't really smell the gunpowder. Kind of an Italian "Colonia" scent meets American west.
Very nice scent. Scent strength is "medium" (compared to the "rager" that is HC&C "Citrus Bomb")

I get excellent results with their base. And their scents seem to keep getting better (I was not a fan of the most of the scents a few years ago).
