"Cuir et Épices" is the first scent exclusive to our new premium soap base. It is a blend of leather, tobacco flower, cedar, anise, oakmoss, and patchouli. This scent is unique unto itself and somewhat difficult to describe. The beta feedback was all over the place, but we think the closest to capturing the scent was:

"This is what I imagine John Wayne's kitchen smelling like - soft leather, vaguely appley, with a twist of some kind of baking spice."

However, this is absolutely not a gourmand scent, so don't let the "appley" or "baking spice" fool you. We would rate this scent as neutral tending toward masculine.

BASE: Milksteak is my tongue-in-cheek name for the culmination of all of my soap crafting experience to date. While the name may be whimsical, it was an incredibly difficult decision to deprecate Bison and Icarus - one I would not make without full confidence that I was releasing not only the best soap base I have ever developed, but one of the finest soap bases ever created.

Over three years of customer feedback, research, theory crafting and, of course, love, went into this soap base. I focused on ease of use (softer than Icarus), slickness, and post-shave - all the hallmarks of a great soap.

This is a remarkable shaving soap and certainly equals or exceeds the best I've used. Their formula results in a superb lather — easily created, thick in consistency and smooth in glide — and the effect of the formula in moisturizing my skin is astonishing: this soap with a good razor results in a post-shave feel of skin that is smooth, soft, and supple, even when the aftershave is a simple alcohol splash (which is why I normally use — I'm not much of a balm guy). I highly recommend this shaving soap line — pick the fragrance your prefer and try the soap. It's amazingly good.
