Man, I really wish Charles would offer some of the shave stick scents in the larger screw-top containers!
Charles, how about porting a couple of these scents to the other format? Pleeease!

Update!!! Just tried the Rose Geranium today.. Verrrrrrry Nice! Not quite the house-filling (saturating?) fragrance of the old original Wild Rose, but then again no tinglies either! Have to update my tinker toys picture to include it and the anise lavender, but more tomorrow.

I don't find the peppermint to be the dominant scent in the shave stick. The grapefruit smells great, a very clean, citrusy smell to it.

Greetings Mahesh,
I am so preoccupied with the grapefruit that I never really notice the peppermint. I think the real issue resolves to how sensitive your nose is to the peppermint versus the grapefruit. The grapefruit is all-encompassing when I use this soap. Really, the only thing missing is the seeds.

Enjoy! I am sure you will find the Rose Geranium delightful.alchemist said:
Anyone have any experience with the Tangerine/Spearmint shavestick? I just ordered one from Charles and can't wait to try it out.
The tangerine sounds nice, but I don't care for spearmint - love peppermint. Please keep us updated.rschul2 said:Anyone have any experience with the Tangerine/Spearmint shavestick? I just ordered one from Charles and can't wait to try it out.

Might I suggest hotter water when building the lather? I really enjoyed the scent.. It quickly filled the shave shack with delightful fragrance. BUT, that is why I cautioned about individual sensitivities with the grapefruit mint, one man's meat, another's poison. Do you use a latherbowl? I warm mine and also rub the shave stick in it to enhance the experience.alchemist said:
Ron, I'm probably not getting the full effect of the scent as i have only used it for touch up purposes, and did not lather it. After you apply it to your face and lather it with a brush, do you then transfer it to a shave bowl to work the lather some more? The only time i don't lather in a bowl is when i use a shave stick; maybe i will try your method.
I also like to sometimes rub the stick on a wet face, and then lather up a separate cream in a bowl and then apply the brush with lathered cream onto the face; i feel having the shave stick soap undercoating the cream give me plenty of glide together with ample protection.
Thanks,
Mahesh

That is exactly what I do. It is really a joy.alchemist said:
Mahesh, with the shave sticks, I first lather a few minutes on my face, and then hit the ole latherin vessel. The lather really explodes, and I can continue with great satisfaction.
