Thread: Soap/Cream suggestions

I asked advices to Colleen for my sensitive skin. I'm mostly fragrance sensitive so here are the scents she recommended to me:

Provence Lavender
Orange Patchouli
Savon de Campagne
Bay Rum/Sweet Orange
Highlander
Desert Ironwood

So if DI was ok for your skin, the others should be too.

Cavendish Black is not for sensitive skins Sorry

I just tried a Lime soap from Straight Razor Designs and had great success with it. I was really pleased with the lather and lubricity (right word?) and overall results. The scent is very clean and pure, which I think is due to the use of essential oils (as opposed to fragrance oils) in a fairly high concentration.

I don't have sensitive skin, so I can't say if these soaps will irritate your skin or not. Why not get in touch with Don, he can tell you everything about the soaps and steer you in the right direction. They carry a bunch of soaps and creams, inc MWF, so I'm sure he could recommend something that would work.

Good luck.

I picked up a puck of lime coconut while at the Classic Shaving Store in Palm Springs. I got home and the next day tried it for my shave. It burnt like hell after putting it on my face. I later came to find that many had the same problem. On the other hand, I have lime menthol and spicy lime from Mama Bear, and both are good, and don’t provide any irritation to my face.

Before I got the itch to try something new I used soaps from em’s place exclusively. They lather well, and smell good. I am pretty fond of the lavender, skindicinal, outdoors, and lime citrus.
