CBL Soaps Ghost Lime Review

CBL IN DA HOUSE!!! Alright so today I was very excited to use CBL soap from a REAL tub! No small tubs, no transferring samples to tins... but a real soap tub. It just all felt real today! I did record the shave today if you want to see it action. This is his newest formula and I have used some of it. Like the TSC Exclusive, Tabacaveg, and Ghost Banana. All in all I am ready to offer up a final rating. All of his previous soaps that he sent me would come in at Tier 1 Box 4 and a couple with some additions like the Damascus entered Box 3. The changes he made have really increased slickness, post-shave, and residual. Today the shave was wonderful and the scent strength once lathered goes to like a 4.5 out of 5. Almost 5 out of 5. If I have ever walked through a lime tree farm I imagine this is what it would smell like. Also I have an urge for a big slice of Key Lime Pie!

So to offer the final rating on the NEW CBL soap base I am going to say it is Tier 1 Box 2. Not quite Elite. The Residual slickness I experienced with the Dec. Grooming Icarus base really blew me away and I think that is going to be hard to top. All other aspects of this soap are there though!

Nice review and the same feelings I had when using it in todays shave. Nice post shave feel still for me. Thanks Chad
 
Nice review Chad! Off the puck yesterday, I'd have given the scent strength a 1. I'm looking forward to using it to see if it opens up.

So the Ghost Lime means menthol? No a big fan of the menthol, but I love lime anything.

Its a synthetic menthol. Same thing that The Holy Black uses in their creeper line. No scent, just cooling, but it’s different from a menthol cooling.
 
I tried to use the Ghost Lime to keep my wife from using my CBL soaps. Well last night she was in the bath and conversation is as follows

her “are you signed in to the cadre”
me “always”
her “tell Chris I love this Ghost Lime soap and you have my blessings to buy it”
me “if he ever decides to sell it I will”
her “shut up I just hope this stack of soaps didn’t cost more than my car”

Well if Mrs TJ approves...
 
More importantly does all the soap cost more than the car?
