Cannonball! Shave soap and Aftershave set by Summer Break Soaps

- fortified with WS-23 synthetic menthol analogue!

Scent Notes for those interested (both soap and aftershave):

Pineapple, Orange, Water, Ozone, and Chlorine, (includes WS-23 a synthetic cool-menthol analogue which does not impart a mint scent)

Great interpretation of a summer pool to me:

Most local public pools where I live opened with Memorial Day. Growing up the local pool had a concessions area and sold Wacky Wafers which were kinda like overgrown sweeTARTS. These were fruity and tart, about the size of a US half-dollar, and far from chalky like those repugnant NECCO WAFERS (may NECCO Wafers rot in hell). Wacky Wafers are now discontinued but you can understand what they taste like if you open up a roll of sweeTARTS.

This soap with the fruit, ozone, and chorine notes is a great interpretation of my experiences at the local pool growing up.

Take care and have a good one.
