A new week; so I thought I'd have a bash with some non-tallow soaps: starting with the best in my collection. Worth every penny (well, Euro at time of purchase), it gives a rich, thick, protective lather; and the scent is just amazing. It has a lovely cooling menthol touch too.
When I started this shaving/fragrance lark, I used to avoid anything that stated ‘tobacco' in the list of olfactory expectations. But, in most cases, I think reference is being made to the flowers; or maybe the weed before it is being burnt/smoked.
Whatever, this is a killer soap, imo, and gives the perfect lather for the Old; which, incidentally, gives a great shave. Pretty good for a razor nearly one hundred years old.
Alt-Innsbruck to compliment the soap and all's well.
