    Default MNS shave soap

    What is everyones favorite Mikes Natural Soaps?
    I have tried Cedar and Pine for a year and like it very much, and recently after waiting for a month to get it, Vetiver (Bit strong but I like it).
    Both times I recieved samples, nice touch but both were Barber shop (like it)
    I think I could use this shave soap exclusively if needed.
    So what MNS scent do you like?

    I went to order some of the Barber shop scent tonight and he's not taking orders, must have a major backlog!

    Unquestionably, my favourite scent is the Lemongrass & Eucalyptus. Unfortunately for me, after just three uses I began to get significant itching. Lemongrass allergies are fairly common apparently, especially with those like me who get hay fever. Grrr!!!

    I have the lemongrass and eucalyptus, Vetiver, Orange/Cedarwood/Black Pepper, and Lime. Love them all, But I would rate them in the order I wrote. Also got a sample of the Lily of the Valley which SWMBO loved, I thought it was good too so that will prolly be next...

    My runner up is a Sandalwood & Vanilla Limited Edition, made for a Spanish Forum in 2012. Of what is currently available though, Hungarian Lavender is my pick.

    Sandalwood, I would definitley try that to bad it was a limited addition.

    I've tried the following:

    Orange and Black pepper (little to much orange for me)
    Cedar & Pine (like it, very green scent would buy it again, nice for fall weather)
    Barbershop (very clean scent, goes well with my Bay Rum Lime I think, summertime)
    Vetiver (smells great, but strong. I'm going to have to get use to this one)

    Joe, How's the Lime? Is it a strong scent or mild......Will I need to drink a Corona with it....I'm sure it's good the shave soap always is

    Like all citrus scents, it starts out great and fades quickly. Really love the Lemongrass/Eucalyptus over the Lime.
