Thanked: 603What Are Some Of Your Favorite Spring Soaps?
With a hat-tip to HopChugger (as well as the return to Daylight Savings Time and ever-warmer weather), let me ask the yet-unanswered question: What are some of your favorite Spring soaps?
In my shave den, there's really only one distinctively vernal offering (as is often the case, it's by Colleen Hurley, "Soapmistress" of The Gentlemen's Quarter): Lemon Verbena. It was a one-off... years ago (though still nicely fragrant)... no longer in production, but who knows?
I like to pair it with Nina Ricci Signoricci or Miller Harris Citron Citron.You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

I don't change up soaps much, but in the spring, I do like Castle Forbes Lime. Tc

I really don't change either with one exception. The Tremonia menthol is ballistic strength and not the best for winter. It's great for the summer though.

Gentlemen,
Regardless the season, I choose the soap or the cream that strikes my fancy that morning.

Thanked: 13245Lime
I like Lime in Spring and Summer, in general Lighter scents more Floral scents"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

If you enjoy the scent of Lemon Verbena, Mystic Water offers a lovely version of this scent.
