What's your favourite lime/citrus based scented soaps?

[bobbybirds]

My wife came home with some really nice lime/coconut hand soap and the scent has left me wanting to try out some more citrus based shaving soaps and possibly aftershaves. I am wondering what everyone's faves are? What have you tried and what did you think of them positive or negative?

Thanks!

Crabtree and Evelyn, West Indian lime collection is excellent. It not just citrus, but a crisp, robust, spicy smell that does not disappoint.

I use the cream but the soap is good too. I think they have a whole product line including AS and cologne too.

IMO worth it.....

Not to be overshadowed, castle Forbes has a lime scent that is second to none....

Also I think it's worth mentioning that AOS has a really nice 'sea kelp' EO cream that is citrusy with a little something extra---- my skin really agrees with that cream/EO.

I would recommend Any of these products year round.

I like Vulfix Sicilian Limes.

You may also want to try DR Harris Arlington

SRD carries a good lime. I can't give you a comparison with the others, though.

Thanks guys! I am probably going to try out the Crabtree and Evelyn next. I actually use the DR Harris Arlington and LOVE it! I do notice a citrus like smell but it isn't super pronounced to me. I am just trying to see if I can find something with a bit more Citrus kick to it...

QED, based in Rhode Island, has an excellent Lemon & Cedarwood shaving soap, which is available as a 5oz tub, and a 2oz shave stick. As with all Charles' products, both versions lather, lubricate, and moisturize like nobody's business.

But no shave is complete without a matching or complementary aftershave balm and afterscent. In this case, Castle Forbes makes two incredible aftershave balms in Lime (EO), and Cedarwood & Sandalwood (EO) -- both of which work well with the QED Lemon & Cedarwood shaving soap. Now, with regard to an afterscent, Castle Forbes' Gentlemen's Cologne seems to fill the bill most admirably. According to Basenotes, CF Gentlemen's Cologne contains the following notes:

Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon & Lime.
Middle notes: Lavender & Sage
Base notes: Sandalwood, Cedar & Musk

I think a man would be a lucky fellow to be able to shave with QED Lemon & Cedarwood, then moisturize his skin with CF Cedarwood & Sandalwood ASB, and finish off with CF Gentlemen's Cologne. Given the quality, longevity, and amount of each product I've mentioned here, their cost is certainly affordable -- when the goods are good, it's money well-spent.

Castle Forbes lime is really good, and performs very well. I like the smell of Col Conks lime, I know I know not the best soap but it smells good

TOBS grapefruit. Its scent is a not-quite-subtle zing of grapefruit (yeah, I know), and it lathers like any other TOBS product.

Trumper's from London lime cream is great. On a budget or for convenience Col Conk limes has a good scent.
