bath soap of the month

Well, it is time to shift over to my spring/summer shave soaps. So, I took out my Productos LEA triple milled shave soap (new no -tallow formula) and decided to relegate its use to a bath/sink soap. It lathers like crazy and doesn't leave a mess behind, but it never had much cushion or did much to soften my beard.

The old tallow version was great.

It has been a long time since I last used Chandrika.  Don't want to let that happen again so I ordered a half dozen bars off Amazon  

Thanks for the reminder, had this spare bar I forgot since almost 4 years!



Agree with your scent description, also decent detergent qualities even on oily skin.

Violetta (Nesti Dante) Dei colli Fiorentini

My bar of this violet soap is very lightly scented. I can hardly pick up even a slight floral smell. The smell of sweet violets is made up of ionones, which interact with your brain's smell detectors in an odd way. After ionones trigger your detectors for a few seconds, they desensitize them so the smell seems to go away. A few minutes later the desensitizing wears off, and you can smell the flowers again. This produces a bizarre strobe-light effect that some people find fascinating, while others just think it's bothersome.

One of my favorite Stirling scents.
