Mickey Lee Soapworks - Réunion
Island Bladeworks "Bullwinkle" | TGN Finest
Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE (1)

Mickey Lee Soapworks has been absent from den up until now.  I have no excuse, and it's too bad because I've been missing out.  A dense creamy lather is very easy to achieve and it arrives rather promptly.  The residual slickness is near perfect, but MLS excels in the post-shave department.  My face and scalp are soft, supple, and well hydrated.

Réunion is an excellent example of a non-smoky vetiver well-seated in damp earth.  The unfolding nears the cusp of murkiness without becoming muddy or dirty. It holds fast to the original green notes and sustains them throughout.  

The splash provides a nice alcohol sear, and the fragrance matches the soap well.  The longevity of the splash is about 4 hours.  There's nothing particularly daring about Réunion, and that's fine with me.  It's simply a welcoming classic vetiver fragrance that's likely to please the masses.  It just happens to be loaded into an outstanding soap base.  Now that I've tried the safe, I think I'm going to pick up Drunken Goat.

DblDe and SharpSpine, those brushes are a joy to look at, and I’m sure they are even more fun to put to use.
