Thread: Chiseled Face 2020: Slick Tallow

THAT is what I call sssssssssssssssssslick!!!

The new Chiseled Face base is called Slick Tallow.
Where the key word is lubrication. (Slick)

This is the list of ingredients. (INCI)

(orders in the two ingredients lists are slightly different due to the requirement of INCI ingredients to show whether an oil has been saponified with sodium or potassium hydroxide)

This high lubrication is obtained with:
• Glycerin in first position
• Aloe Barbadensis, more than water
• White Kaolin (Clay) in high position

To improve it all, a nice handful of Silk Proteins and Lanolin.
Allantoin benefits the inflamed skin.
The North American Red Elm supports the previous one, and adds astringent and healing functions.

At the moment, there're three scents:

• Ghost Town Barber
  Bergamot, Basil Leaf, White Patchouli, Oakmoss, Texas Cedar, Leather, Smoke, Gunpowder
• Midnight Stag
  Russian Leather, Motor Oil, Hoppes #9, Birch Tar, Oakmoss, Gasoline, Smoke, Cedar, Cade, Bergamot, Vanilla
• Sherlock
  Warm Tobacco, Toasted Caramel, Black Pepper, Moist Dirt, Leather, Moss, Mandarin, Honey, Rose

As you can see, the differences are many between the new Slick Tallow base and the previous Tallow base.
It's not just a percentage change in Glycerin and Silk Powder.
The formulation has totally changed.
With the addition of lubricating and decongestant components.
As well as Lanoline, and the replacement with a more prized type of Aloe.
So I'm not too sorry about the loss of noble fats like Mango and Avocado.
Maybe I would have preferred the fragrance a little higher, since in the new version it seems quite less full-bodied.
Also the increase in complexity and therefore time as well as the cost of the components, I believe is correctly expressed in the +20% price.
