I received my bar of orange/cedarwood/black pepper today. In addition to the bar ordered, Mike also included a sample of the lavender and eucalyptus soap. I will discuss the orange soap in this post.
The scent is phenomenal. I wanted to eat the mailer- it smelled that good . The orange is certainly the major player here with the other scents very far in the background. As I described it to another B&B member, it's like you are eating a fresh orange, while the cedarwood and pepper shaker are in a separate room. I made a test lather in my palm with my Duke 2 and the scent stays true to form while lathered. I could detect the scent on my skin for an hour or two after the lathering and I imagine this soap would pair nicely with some Lucky Tiger AS.
The soap seems to like water, but I started with a dryer brush (as is my routine) and slowly added water to the tips of the brush. The lather was rich and slick. I will shave with the soap tonight and post images of the bar and lather later.
Equally impressive was the moisturizing quality of the soap. Again, I haven't applied it to my face, but my palm was left supple and moisturized following the palm lathering. Very anxious to shave with this soap tonight.
