Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club: December Edition Soap Nomination Thread

Saponificio Varesino - Tundra Artica

The name derives from the geographical area called Arctic Tundra, where the vegetable additives used in this soap find their natural habitat: the Icelandic lichen (soothing, purifying, antibacterial, calming) and the cranberry (suitable for sensitive skin, soothing and toning, gives freshness and vitality)

Fragrance: to recall the atmosphere of the Arctic Tundra, we chose the scent of Agar Wood (oud) but harmonized to give the sensation of open and fresh spaces, with a markedly woody perception

Catie’s Bubbles - Crangere

A customer turned friend reached out to me with a wonderfully bad idea. He loves our Blugere and Cape Cod Cranberry and wondered if we could take the cranberry note and give it the Blugere treatment. I created a fougere bottom end with some similarity to Blugere but different enough to stand on its own and then layered the top end of Cape Cod Cranberry to create a new, enjoyable fruit topped woody fougere.

Notes:

Cranberry Seamoss Bergamot Lavender Geranium Galbanum HoWood Oakmoss Coumarin Vetiver Sandalwood Patchouli Oud

Woolly Wash Soapery - Night at the Pub

Bourbon, Fruit Cake, Oak, Bay, Caramel

This summer I organized a group buy on the r/wetshaving discord from Woolly Wash Soapery, a soap maker from a farm in Bollon, Australia that just happened to post their Etsy store in one of the weekly Deals/New Products threads. My understanding is that they only make sheep tallow soaps using tallow from their own sheep.

This one is a nice gourmand that smells a lot like really good carrot cake to me.

Declaration Grooming - Cerberus

Notes: stone fruit, opoponax, jasmine, labdanum, patchouli, sandalwood
