The Wee Scot made a wonderful lather from Van Yulay’s Achilles:
Tobacco with the perfect amount of Kentucky bourbon, hints of cherry, notes of vanilla, of rosewood, cedar, smoke, and sweet birch.
The soap contains:
Calendula – is used to disinfect minor wounds and to treat infections of the skin. The antibacterial and immunostimulant properties of the plant make it extremely useful in treating slow-healing cuts and cuts in people who have compromised immune systems. The herb stimulates the production of collagen at wound sites and minimizes scarring. Natural moisturizer with powerful emollients and protective properties.
Tallow Oil – is considered to be a superior emollient that is beneficial for either dry or oily complexions. It gently moisturizes the skin without leaving an oily sheen. . .
Stearic Acid, Coconut Fatty Acid, Palm Stearic, Castor, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Tobacco Tea, Aloe Vera, Coconut-Emu-Tallow-Meadow Foam-Borage-Argan- Oils, Kentucky Bourbon, Sodium Lactate, Herbal Ground Tea, Calendula, Extracts, Poly Quats, Allantoin, Silica, Bentonite Clay, Glycerin Soap, Tobacco Absolute, Mica and Fragrance.
I did add some water a couple of times as I loaded the brush and was rewarded with a lather that was not only pleasantly fragrant but very creamy and slick. The Wee Scot worked up a fine lather and easily held enough for five or six passes had I so desired, but the S1 had no problem in producing a BBS result in three.
This really is a pleasant soap. I think I might buy a full tub of this one.
A small squirt of Esbjerg aftershave gel finished the shave. It’s a big day: my eldest will be here for the day, so little blogging.
