I really like harder soaps but Ouroboros is not one of them. That said, I dig the shave this soap offers and the scent is as oriental as can be. Love it! It's a snootful of Amber and incense. Wow I smell good enough to kiss!
WeeScott Wrote:Others have posted (not my original idea) if you don't love a soap for shaving, use it as a bath soap or a hand soap. I guess same goes if you just have too many.Light loader I guess! How can Rod make any money unless you slather on a big Santa-beard mug of foam? Haha. I congratulate you on your soap choice and thank you for leaving soap for us heavy handed loaders.
Of course, it's harder to do with croaps.
Just a thought over a morning coffee not a complaint. I don't own that many myself. Lately I've gravitated towards my Stirling Sheep for face shaves and my tub must be well over a year old now and it's still well over 3/4 full. I think I really am a light loader.
I'm going to do some work outside for the day but I think tonight over a nice drink or two place an order for a couple of large synthetics and just maybe a soap or two and start loading like I hate it.
I do love Stirling still a few more I'd like to try. I think I can see why it hasn't changed and I'm happy with the soap base as it is. I think the whole elite, tier II and post shave feel can be a little much at times. No one wants a drying soap but it just kind of seems some of these testers are pushing the artisans in the wrong direction. Sorry a little off topic back to the regular scheduled program.
And yes is was the Sheep today with a tiny Omega Boar 10015.

Darwin Classic v. (Le Père Lucien) citrus, lemongrass, ginger, patchouli
Darwin Razors of Sheffield, England, made a remarkable razor nearly a hundred years ago. By the 1930s, though, the firm had gone out of business, production of new razors ceased, and the surviving Darwin razors became highly coveted collectors items. Now Rasoirs Darwin in Rennes, France, has somehow managed to acquire the ancient Darwin trademark. There seem to be plans for producing a new Darwin razor, but they haven’t been realized yet. For the time being, Rasoirs Darwin has no razors at all, but they do offer combs, aftershaves, brushes, alum, cases, and its Classic soap made by Le Père Lucien. The curious thing about the soap is how it’s packaged. The proprietor, Charles Finley, seems to have spent the morning at a flea market. He's brought home a variety of curious vessels that he's filled with his soap. My favorite container is a jar previously used for Stilton cheese. Let’s hope he gave it a good scrubbing. The soap itself is very good. Forty seconds of swirling makes an effortless, slick vegetal lather. The shave is close, and the finish is rich with Shea butter and glycerin.
