Roasted Oatmeal Stout Aftershave...Oh Mama!
Found it. Of course I have a ton of the fresh lime (a.k.a. Ghost lime) fragrance blend mixed and ready to go but what I was looking for was a tub of CBL Premium Ghost Lime I had set aside a year or so ago...and I found it. It’s yours if you want it, I can add a splash of fresh oil to it to kick it up a notch but lime is one of those fragrances that can seem light no matter how much oil is added so how strong it smells will depend on your nose.
I certainly do. I will leave the scent up to you @CBLindsay, If you think it needs kicked up, go for it. If you think it is ok as is, that's fine too. sent you a PM.
Thank you for digging this up!!! I am very grateful.
I took advantage of Chris’ offer to make custom scented aftershave products. Now I have most of my favorites!
That's a scent I'm interested in also except I wonder if the cinnamon in Russian tea would possibly set my face on fire.....
Russian Tea is indeed an awesome scent, one I thought would be quite popular given the popularity of the Russian tea scent once sold by Stropped Shopp. Alas, I had it available for 2 years and ended up having to give the stuff away or put it in the grab bag so it didn’t sit any longer. I still have some of the original fragrance oil blend (a major component is no longer available because the manufacture has gone out of business) and can probably make a similar version if needed but I don’t plan on making more at this time. It’s funny you both bring it up because as I packed up the last tub (grab bag purchase) I considered the possibility of using the Russian Tea blend in combination with another citrus blend for a a future release.
as for the cinnamon burn, not a big likelihood unless you are terribly sensitive because the original blend I used has very very little cinnamide in it. It doesn’t actually contain any real orange, clove or cinnamon oils...all synthetic and aroma chemicals. It was quite cheap 2-3 years ago when I bought it (although it took every extra penny I had at the time to buy the extra oil) but the replacement alternatives now are all more expensive and definitely more likely to light up a sensitive face.
It’s a favorite of my boys so I’ll probably end up making them both some for Christmas.
Used your Orion for the second time last night. I got great results, again. It took a few attempts to learn the soap, but it was worth it. I use a pre soaked boar brush, that has been completely shaken out. Load for a few seconds, wet the tips and load a few more seconds before going to the bowl with a brush that appears to be dipped in putty. This is whipped in the bowl, adding half a teaspoon amounts of water, and finally just adding drops of water. When it achieves a pearlescent glow, awesomeness has been reached. It may be the densest lather I've ever used, and the slickness is great too.
Thanks for the kind words and giving Orion a few attempts to learn its tricks. You deserve a gold start for using the boar brush, I have made many Orion test lathers with my big 'ol boar brush.
