Thread: Sandalwood soap

Vintage AOS sandalwood soap is still available, and it's my favorite sandalwood scent. The performance is top notch, as it's tallow and made by Valobra, who also make Czech & Speake and are of the same quality. AOS sandalwood cream also has a fantastic scent.

LPL Oud Santal.

AOS Sandalwood came in the mail yesterday. Used it today. Not as strong of a scent i was hoping for. It is a nice scent, just not a pure sandalwood scent. Guessing.

Performance wise it was right on the money. I had lather in seconds. It help a good amount of water without breaking down. If I had to find a fault with it Id say it Could have been a little better in slickness, but that is really being picky as it was slick. The after the shave skin feel was very nice and not pinched at all. Skin felt conditioned and moisturized.

Another BBS shave today. That two in a row. I must be living right or something.
Now if i could stop faceterbating!
A solid quality cream is my opinion.
Was thinking that maybe i could add some oils to it to get more scent???

I recently learned about the "Try That Soap" web site that allows you to search for soaps based on scent preferences. Of course, the site does not list all soaps (WSP soaps are not included, for example). For soaps including sandalwood in the blend, see: https://trythatsoap.com/scent/29/

Most of the soaps will be a mixture of sandalwood and one or more other scents, but there are some whose scent is basically pure sandalwood. Captains Choice Sandalwood, Proraso Red, DR Harris Sandalwood, Stirling Sandalwood, WSP Sandalwood and others are basically a pure sandalwood scent. Please be aware that there are a variety of species that have a sandalwood type scent, so there will be variations in sandalwood scents depending upon the source of the sandalwood and the scent strength, even if that is the only scent note included.

Thanks for the link Ray. I will check it out.

There is also the Muhle/EJ sandalwood shave soap. My nose is not the best but of the 4-5 sandalwood shave soaps I have tried they all smelled damn near the same.
