@BaylorGator is doing a pretty extensive review of soaps here: Review of 30+ Soaps
Following that thead, I got turned onto a manufacturer called WhollyKaw. I'd never heard of them before. Worse still, there's not much that comes up when you use the search function here (when I do it anyway lol). So I just went ahead and bought a sample set off of their site.
From everything I have seen/read so far though, I understand the scents are strong. I like that. Moreover, there also seems to be some consensus that their tallow soaps are better than their vegan soaps... but who knows? The list of ingredients are remarkable. Donkey milk, mango butter, Dragon's blood lol...
I'd love to know your thoughts on the brand.
Here's what I'm getting in my tallow sample set (they say each sample should give you 7 - 10 shaves):
1. Fougere Bouquet - This is an aromatic fougere enhanced with sparkling citrus notes, nuances of geranium, lavender, and mint. Supported by sensual patchouli, tonka beans and coumarin
2. Jamestown Gentleman - A masculine scent with the fresh and clean notes of bergamot, lavender and neroli, light florals, sweet powdery notes, musk, amber, precious wood and tobacco flower notes.
3. King of Oud - Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Clary Sage, Rose, Aldehydes and Pink Pepper Middle notes: Angelica, Rosewood, Galbanum Base notes: Agarwood or Oud, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli and Amber
4. Man from Mayfair - Bergamot, Basil, Lavender, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss and a blend of musk over a background of soft, powdery notes. Bergaptene free Bergamot is used in the scent blend.
5. Monaco Royale - Top notes: Lavender, Bergamot, Neroli, Petitgrain Middle notes: Oakmoss, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Ambergris* Base notes: Guaiacwood, Agarwood, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Labdanum and Musk
6. Project Leather - The scent blend is made with refined notes of Leather Suede blended with Cardamom, sensuous Vanilla and Tobacco notes. Oud and Bourbon are added for substantivity.
I'm looking forward to trying each and every one of em.
