Here’s a blast from the past that I used today. One of my favourite scents and a great shave. I think it’s the only vegan WK soap base I own.

There’s lots of stuff in my version of the wild that you won’t find elsewhere. Smile

I shaved with WK Rebelle today. It’s a Siero base and it was a great shave, however, I didn’t perceive it to be “better” than the crème fraiche base soap Amber Bomba. That’s just me.

I was re-reading my previous post and I wanted to make it clear that I'm not criticizing siero base at all, it's an. excellent base.  I was responding to some earlier posts indicating that Creme Fraiche base in Amber Bomba had cheaper ingredients than siero and was a step down.  In my experience creme fraiche is not a step down at all.  Theyre both great bases.  If WK is able to make a great performing soap at a lower price point that sounds like a win win to me.

May need to try Rebelle tomorrow to compare although I'm not one to get into the splitting hairs differences in the bases nowadays so maybe I should keep my keyboard shut..... Big Grin

For me personally, I notice an improvement in the Siero base over the Creme Fraiche with regards to post shave. Both great bases, but for me, Siero is King. As in everything else wet shaving, things like this are subjective.

Absolutely TheHunter  :happy2 There’s also the fact that all the stars aligned shaving wise the first time I used Amber Bomba and I had such a great shave that will always love Amber Bomba.

Haha! That’s a possibility Marko, but I think the Amber Bomba is just that good. The scent alone is worth the price of admission, but it’s no doubt an amazing base as well. I 100% am splitting hairs with this one, and I’ve never used anything from Sri that isn’t top notch. Selfishly, I’m happy that some of my old favorites are sticking around  .
