And yeah, the post-shave feel from WK croaps is the best I get from any of the many I've tried. And those strong scents tend to linger more, which I like.

That king of oud is an outstandingly odd sent. Bay rum that fell into a barrel of ... man, it’s too unique to describe! And yeah man, the soft afterwards is awesome.

What’s their best summer soap you figure?

I don't know, haven't tried all of them yet, but Jamestown Gentleman and a couple of the others seem lighter and more powdery. If I want a hard-core skin nourishing soap for summer, one of Stirling's eye-watering offerings with both lanolin and menthol would be perfect. I love a good face freeze too!

I too love the King of oud and mayfair. I think MayfIr was my fav in the sample pack. And i agree on the skin feel. Its like someone has soaked your face in creams and lotions. Soft is not a good enough word. MDC give this feel too but not to this extent. Good stuff for sure.

And i love the blind soap test. Cool idea. That would be fun to do with someone. Hope Mark likes it and posts up his findings too.

It really is fun. Mark will post up his findings, that’s half the fun. With respect to the Wholly Kaw, I’ve pretty much said my piece, and I’m glad to hear what i’ve said echoed by you and scouthikerdad. Makes me feel like I might know a thing or two. But not everyone reacts the same way.

When Mark gets to the blind reviews, I’ll give my review right after as well. It was interesting last time in that our takes weren’t always the same.

Either way! The package was sent - I missed the post office so UPS it was.



The games begin guaranteed by this coming Friday lol.

Yeah, and that's another reason they make great cold-weather creams. Personally, I don't need as much moisturizing in the summer as we're so humid, and my skin doesn't get so dry.

I have far too many soaps but Wholly Kaw is one that I keep going to a couple times a week as I always know that I'll obtain an excellent performance out of them. I have nearly all of the scents. Pompelmo (grapefruit), Noce di Cocco (coconut), Lav Sublime (lavender and lime), Chypre Rose Concerto (lime, bergamot, rose, geranium, lilac, patchouli, cedarwood) are probably what you consider more summer scents. I find the combination of tallow and donkey milk in soaps hard to beat in terms of performance and moisturizing properties.
