Van Yulay - Club Humidor
Rubberset 200-4 | Omega Boar
Star 1912 | Gem PTFE (1)

[Image: ZwSZhL3.jpg]

In my den, Van Yulay is one of the easiest soaps to lather, despite my hard water.  It's intuitive---boar or badger---such that each time I have mounds of bright white yogurt-y lather.  It's also one of my top favorites for residual slickness.  This combo of the uncannily smooth Star/Gem PTFE and the protection from Van Yulay means I can get BBS in 2 passes and minimal clean-up.

The fragrance of Club Humidor, specifically, is not really that of a humidor, but rather that of a manly man that probably just walked out of one after a night on the town. While there are some aromatic cedar and cured tobacco notes, there's enough citronella, leather, and amber to round out this cologne-type scent.
