Thread: Wholly Kaw

I just tried 'Jamestown Gentleman'. I have damaged olfactory nerves and I was still able to enjoy the scent during and after the shave. I like the scent, but that fact tells me that it is pretty strong. It is too sweet to my wife's nose smelling my cheek after the shave, not a turn off, but she just didn't care for it. TO MY TASTE the donkey milk base is a bit over superfatted. I tested the soap by rubbing a snurdle onto my stubble with my fingers and then face lathering. I felt like I was rubbing Crisco on my face. Obviously loading a different way would avoid this feeling, but that's not how I roll.

I had previously used up a sample of the rose scent with the same base. All of the above could be said of that sample also.

I should add that this soap base has a very strong following and there are many people that love it. The post shave feel is very good.
