The Simpson Persian Jar 2 Super is quite a nice brush, and it easily worked up an excellent and fragrant lather from Meißner Tremonia’s Natural Bay Rum:
Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera oil*, Jamaica Rum, Potassium Hydroxide, Aqua, Orbignya Oleifera oil*, Sodium Hydroxide, Macadamia terifolia oil, Pimenta Racemosa oil, Litsea Cubeba oil, Eugenia Carophyllata oil, Glycerin*, Citric Acid, Talc, Simmondsia Chinensis oil*, Kaolin, Maris sal, Brown Clay, Eugenol, Citral, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol.
* Bio – Qualität
As you see, it has two types of clay (Kaolin and Brown), but it was easy to load the brush this time without adding extra water, and the lather was quite nice indeed: a good strong bay rum fragrance.
Three passes with the RazoRock Black Mamba razor, one of the most comfortable razors I own, and I had a BBS face.
A good splash of Krampert’s Finest Acadian Bay Rum, and the weekend gets underway.
Witch Hazel, alcohols (isopropyl, ethyl and propoxylated), vegetable glycerine, natural scent and color from spices.
There’s a lengthy description at the link, which includes this paragraph:
Since it contains very effective moisturizers, and I’ve used my knowledge of botanicals in its composition, it’s great as a guy’s moisturizer. I regularly use it to combat dry skin in the winter. There is no rubbing it in. Just spread it on and let it dry. It can never be greasy or oily. It works differently than any other moisturizer you’ve ever used. Again, don’t rub it in, just spread it on and then allow it to dry. If you want more moisturizing effect, use a bit more. I like to see my skin noticeably wet immediately after application.
I do find that it is moisturizing, unusually so for a splash.
