Dang, I swear, I love this scent.
At first I purchased it for an autumn/winter scent. But it has grown on me, “Big Time”.
I love the pumpkin, sandalwood, bourbon, and tobacco scent. One of my top two scents.
And now I love to use it year round.
As for their soaps - they’re “vegan”. And I’d put them up against ANY of the tallow-based soaps on the market.
And their splashes are exceptional.
I’m finding that I don’t need to use a balm when I use their splashes. And having witch hazel, and no alcohol, they’re exceptional. (I HATE alcohol splashes).
With my Ralf Aust, the skin food left ZERO irritation, and a crazy smooth and sticky face.
Just an exceptional shave today.
The only bad part was that I’m down to the bottom of the soap jar.
What do they say?
“The swirl of death”. (Or something like that). Ha ha.
One of the few soaps I’ll replenish over and over again.
Crushing Monday.

Super shave this morning.
I went with a more “winter-like” scent - “Leviathan”. (See attached photo for scent notes).
And since it kinda smells original, vintage, antique, historical, to me…I went with my Wade & Butcher.
As a side note, I had a little tube of menthol drops. It came with one of my soaps. And honestly, I cannot remember which one, or I’d give them the props.
I have never used menthol drops before, so I added 10 drops after the lather was made in the bowl, and swirled it around with my brush.
I was hoping it would not have a smell, as I “NEVER” mix scents. (Just ghetto-smelling as heck to do so). And to my agreement…no scent.
While lathering it was not “mentholy”. (Is that a word)?
But after I rinsed with water during each pass, it had a super nice cooling effect.
Pretty cool experience for me.
Anyhoo…the shave was pretty awesome.
Love the unique scent, and the head and face shave was cracee sticky and baby butt smooth.
Crushing Tuesday!

Great shave this early morning.
Wifey was off, so I wanted to try something different that she enjoys as well.
Pulled-out the trusty ole, “Druantia”.
It is a unique scent that intrigued the wifey when she read the scent profile…which was the reason for me purchasing it.
Once it arrived I liked it, but I was not flabbergasted by it. So I never pulled-out all the stops and got the matching soap as well. (Which is the reason I always have unscented soaps and balms on hand. So I don’t waste a bunch of money on a unknown scent soap/balm/splash set that I am not sure I will like…or not. I just purchase the splash if no samples are available).
But I enjoy it, and wear it for a change. (Scent notes are: Cedar, oakmoss, rosewood, cyprus).
Like I mentioned above, I paired it with an unscented soap and an unscented balm. (I NEVER mix scents)!
I used my custom Koraat for the shave.
Overall outstanding shave.
Straights give me the cleanest, closest, most non-irritating shaves of any kind.
They even smash the shaves of a great DE razor shave.
As an example, my straight razors give me a cleaner, less irritated, face shave than my Carbon Shaving Cx-316L DE razor. (Which I use for my head).
But since I am not playing with shaving my noggin with a straight razor, I use a DE razor for that.
On top of that, shaving my head with a straight razor would be a slower process, which would lengthen my shave regimen to unacceptable times. (If I lived in the 1800’s, it’d be a different story).
Anyhoo…great shave, great scent, and wonderful skin food.
Crushing Wednesday.
