I'm much the same; by the time I've rinsed off any remaining lather and splashed my face with cold water, much of the sent has vanished. I suppose that, for those who don't use any post-shave products, some soaps and creams might linger, so I wouldn't call it a useless property, but it certainly isn't something I bother much about.I, too, find that the scent of cream has gone by the end of the shave. However, I do enjoy the scent as you open the tub and lather your face.
The only one of my soaps that leaves a discernible scent after rinsing (I have stopped using alum except for the very rare nick years ago), is the vintage tallow AoS sandalwood soap...
Most members here go on about how Arko and sometimes Tabac smells in a bad way, after shaving with these soaps and rinse my face with first warm and after cold water I can't smell anything at all from the soaps, so for me before the scent of the soap the performance comes first. The real important point here; Tabac, Lea, La toja, Tobs... any company that produces soaps and creams will obviously use their own scent. Can you think like Tabac shaving soap smelling completely different from Tabac aftershave? It would be more costly to the company in the first place.
Few years ago there was a deal at Savers for Blue Stratos Edt comes with a small can of shaving foam, I don't use the foam for shaving but sometimes wash my hands with it and surprisingly after rinsing thoroughly I can still smell the foam on my hands and its a very nice scent.
Hi chaps
I have seen a few threads which discuss soap scent post-shave. Now when I shave, I love the smell of a nice soap, but after i've rinsed the soap off with warm water, splashed some cold on, done an Alum rub, then washed that off again, I can't really smell the soap. If there is any remaining smell then the AS kills it...
So...Anyone else feel the same, that the scent lingering qualities of a soap aren't really of use?
