Henry, how is the Lothanique soap? I saw that WCS is carrying it - I'm intrigued.

Woke up late today, so I had to zip off the stubble with the Fatboy.

It smells delicious! While it contains neither tallow or lanolin, I've been getting very good shaves from it. I've only used it twice, but I it is staying in my rotation for the foreseeable future.

According to WCS is smells of fresh cut grass. Is this an accurate description? Is it anything even close to Musgo Real cream?

I don't get fresh cut grass or Musgo. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time putting to words what it smells like.
