Lather Games 2024-06-04 K.I.S.S.
There are three soaps that I am planning to use in these games that I could have used for the Bonjour, Lather Games entry on June 1st. I ended up using A A Shaving's Gale soap there as I have different plans for the other two new to me soaps. Wholly Kaw is one of those soaps that is completely new to me. Instead, today I am using it for the one-note (KISS) shave.
One Note Shave Soap:
Wholly Kaw's Pompelmo is a one note grapefruit (kind of a creamy one, but yeah really just grapefruit) Per Wholly Kaw: "Single scent edition...The way grapefruit should be."
Soap was certainly creamy and slick, I had no idea donkey's are slick! Well, okay their milk as a soap ingredient - I guess I assumed it was a novelty and I don't know maybe it is but I had a lovely shave.
Anyway, good soap and not a biting version of grapefruit. Nice not bracing.
Followed this up with Eleven's Lime and Basil balm to keep it citrus.
What Base do I miss?
- Oz Shaving (defunct) released a new base about a year before they closed up called their "Emerald Base". It was quite good.
Current Favorite Base?
- I do have a large amount of love for House of Mammoth's tusk and also for the recent base offering from Catie's Bubbles (don't know the name for this base). But really I am going to go with Chicago Grooming's Darkwing. I really like it in the sub exclusive AG1889.
Scent notes for those who are interested:
(Kinda short today)
- Wholly Kaw's Pompelmo - Grapefruit
- Eleven's Lime and Basil balm - Lime and Basil
Take care and have a good one.
