You have to admire Erica. Not long ago I remember her first
post to my community, a video from her YouTube channel. During her video you
could see some of the technical issues she was experiencing could also see what a great time she was having and was a natural in front of the camera. Post after
post her knowledge was growing along with her enthusiasm. Other wet shavers
noticed her too and started PIFING and sending her some great products. Soon she
had a den full of wet shaving gear like she’s been doing this for years.
Recently she took another big step into creating her own
brand. Quietly working on her soap creations for months getting everything just
right, so on April 23, 2016 Stache SoapWorks was born. Along with a wide
variety of Bath Soaps, Beard Balms, Lotions, Shave Soap, Sugar Scrubs and Gift
Sets. This brings me to the shaving soap I will be reviewing called George.
I can’t talk about the full size tub do to the fact that I
have a 2oz sample size but still it’s a nice plastic cobalt blue tub with a
screw on lid. Hand written label on top with
the company name and the word George underneath it.
The is an amazing citrus scent. Bright orange & grapefruit
with a spicy end including a complex blending of notes such as Oakmoss,
Sandalwood, Amberwood, Black Peppercorn, Bergamot, Patchouli, Grapefruit, Musk,
Orange, Tobacco, Frankincense, Myrrh, Teakwood, Cardamon, Cedar, Leather,
Jasmine, Cherry. I find it amazing how fast Erica has picked up the art of
blending complex notes like this, hats off to her. This scent filled my den during and after my
shave and I’m sure it’s going to do the same for you too.

I had no problems with lathering. I used my Captain Choices bowl
and in minutes created a rich creamy lather that was able to hang on my bread
and provide great coverage. The slickness and glide provided the ability to go
over spots I had missed during my first pass. The post shave feel was also very
good.
So a great shave with George from Stache SoapWorks. Erica
has this amazing drive which comes over in her videos and in the product she
creates. With a crowded field of artisan soap makers, she just might wiggle her
way to the top sooner than most people think.
