Chiseled Face Summer Storm Artisan Shaving Soap, 4oz

Smells good and works great

Customer review

This is a very interesting soap. The samples here at Maggard's are the best — decent portions, nice labeling and good selection. I have bought far too many soaps in search of great performance and great scent. It can be hard to test samples because some are just hard to lather from a sample and some are very sensitive to water level and get too foamy. I put an almond sized bit in my Vikings Blade lathering bowl and lather with a pre-soaked and squeezed dry brush. I load up the brush, face lather and add water little by little as needed. When loading up a sample in the bowl I sometimes get profuse foam which can sabotage a good face lather. With this soap I got some foam but the brush loaded well and after face lathering I got a superior, creamy lather, thick, slick and protective. It feels and smells wonderful. The lather is up there at the top with all time greats like MWF and B&M (check out C.Salter rose cream too). The scent is unusual. At first I didn't like it, but it intrigued me and now after three shaves I really like it. To me there is an earthy, grassy, woodsy slightly sweet scent with a bit of whatever that smell is after a rain (see the “try that soap” website for the scent profile). Get a sample and check it out!

I normally don't leave reviews unless I really......really like something. I shaved this morning with summer storm. All I was getting was a wet dirt smell,, which I find very unpleasant. Hours later I smelled my brush. It was that same unpleasant smell. Do some people like that smell? I couldn't get it out of my nose for a long time. Now....The positives. The soap is a lathering beast. It doesn't dry out on the face. Back to the scent. After the dirt smell fades away, your left with a pleasant, pine outdoorsy fragrance that is long lasting.. In conclusion, I will give it another try, only because of its performance and dry down fragrance. I just don't know what to make of it......thus 3 stars.

I love this soap, and have made it, the matching aftershave, and bath bar my signature sent. More than any other soap artisan I've found, Ron Weibe's scents invoke pleasant scenes and memories. This scent has that amazing, earthy scent of a fresh rain after a long dry spell, with earth, ozone, and aqua, and lesser notes of pine, moss and lily. The scent is outstanding, and makes me feel both nostalgic and amazing smelling. Talk about a confidence booster! As for the performance, I find it top notch, with lather that explodes in my scuttle, terrific facial protection and slickness. My skin feels very refreshed after using it. I have no problems lathering it in our hard water. Chiseled Face takes chances and their scents are not for everyone, but this one is SO outstanding, SO memorable, that I write great reviews for it on websites. That's saying something.
