NO Pic...Woke up late.
I have to make this a REALLY quick one. One of the Danger Hounds...the one I affectionately call Allie Monster...wasn't feeling well last night and I spent a good bit of the night scrubbing puke stains off of the rugs. Why do dogs always want to puke on the rug...most of my floors are hard.
Anyway...I had been doing reviews of my new soaps and during these reviews Chris of Clan Lindsay sent my generous amounts of soaps that he created. I don't believe this is the exact formulation of the one up on his site though, as the ones I have have hemp oil in them. I had planned to shave with these soaps after my week with LNHC, then Chris decided to bless us with his announcements. I guess I should have got to these earlier.
I can't get into this too much today...but I wanted to say that this Sandalwood, Jasmine, Leather, Cedar, and Rose scent was MADE for me...whether Chris knows it or not. This scent is amazing! And while I know it is not for everyone...I absolutely love it. He hit it right out of the park. This is in the same wheelhouse as Vide Poche by Chatillon Lux...but...and I am not just saying this...but, I think I like this better. The floral are front on this scent, but I wouldn't call it overly floral. The Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood bring it down to that earthy feeling and gives it a little bit of ruggedness. I love this scent.
I need to dial in the soap a little more and I think I started too wet...but in the end it yielded a very nice slick lather that I think is going to have very nice post shave properties. I didn't want to splash on my Vide Poche aftershave...because I want to smell this as long as I can. So I went with Avon Leather which complimented this soap perfectly!
I hope you fine members of the Cadre have a wonderful day!
