Vetiver Shave soap

Gah, I thought i had picked up a bargain and instantly purchased a puck of creed vetiver shave soap. Turns out it was only bath soap so quickly cancelled the order.

Ive seen a couple of threads that are old so thought I would resurrect it.

Ive got all my soaps matching aftershave and EDT like Aventus (stirling) ,YSL Rive Gaunce (phoenix), GIT (sterling) etc

The only one I am missing is Vetiver, which just so happens to be my favourite scent!

Ive seen a couple of vetiver soaps, but they are all rose with vetiver or bergamont with vetiver etc

Any vetiver lovers care to share any soaps they use?

Don't bother with KonTiki Tiki Bar

Czech & speake 88 is nice. Expensive, but an exceptional performer and strong Vetiver base.

Mikes Natural has a nice vetiver version that also performs well.

Savon Du Midi Vetyver is a great performer with a nice smokey/earthy vetiver scent.

Thanks guys! I'll check these out.

If I've no luck, I might just bite the bullet on a Creed soap. They seem to last a long time as ice read. My fat has lasted 2 years so far and doesn't seem to have gotten any smaller!

I use the Creed Vetiver, and I cannot fault the quality of the soap. Great scent, lather, and slickness - on par with most of the higher end soaps I've used, including MdC, Santa Novella, and Pannacrema. I could not care less about the pine wood bowl, and I have not had any issues with it to be honest. The original Santal is another great performer as well. Well worth it IMHO.

I might treat the bowl, give it some stain, a finish and protection from water when I pounce on a puck . it looks to be untreated pine anyway.

I think the untreated pine gives it a raw quality that I find somewhat appealing, but YMMV. Probably to do with the contrast between fresh smelling vetiver and raw untreated wood. They just go well together.

Cyril Salter French Vetiver, perso I like it ...but is "smoky" ...a great Cream
IMHO Cyril Salter creams are underrated ....

I also love the Cyril Salter... one thing I have found over the long term is that it does tend to dry out a bit quickly, so make sure you order it when you don't have a bunch of other stuff in your rotation. Great fragrance and thick creamy lather.

B&M Vetyver Santal and Fine Fresh Vetiver will pair perfectly.

I have B&M Vetiver Santal, and it's probably my favorite scent, period.

QED Vetiver and lime is nice, IMHO.

I really like it as well. I'll likely pick up a bottle of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP sometime.

I just ran through a sample of Mike's Vetiver and I really liked it a lot. Plan to order a full puck. Also want to try the B&M.

LASS Bespoke#1

Mikes Vetiver
B&M Vetyver Santal

I also love vetiver. My favorites are Stirling's Port-au-Prince, LASSC's Bespoke #1 & Jabonman's Tierra Humeda.

Queen Charlotte Vetiver is another great one. It has a very earthy scent.
