Ok, let me start off by saying I screwed up. I ordered a
refill instead of tub and because of that I can’t really say much about the
packaging. I did however create my own out of a Pine Brother plastic case for
cough drops. It was the perfect size after I sliced the puck down the middle and
the label fit just right.
Michelle runs her shop out of Riverdale Park, MD where she’s
been making artisan soap for over fifteen years. Her first foray into shaving
soap was an eye-opening experience she quickly found out that it’s not as easy
as making bar soap. So, after many failed attempts and reformulations Michelle
got it right and lucky for us because her shaving soap is truly outstanding.
Lemon Verbena is an herbaceous plant, a flowering shrub with
lemon-scented leaves. It is used in cooking, added to herbal teas and in
perfumery, and has a bright and uplifting light lemon fragrance but lemon
is not the only scent here I do get other florals which I have yet to identify with
each use I sense something else in the mix.
Lathering was not a problem for Mystic. I bowl lather and in
just a little over 1 min an amazing amount of rich creamy lather was achieved. The
lather was able to penetrate my 5-day old beard and the slickness and glide was
outstanding allowing me to go over areas many times without irritation. The
post shave feel was just wonderful as well.
So, I had a wonderful shave with Lemon Verbena it has an
enjoyable scent. I'm looking forward to trying other offerings from Mystic
Water Soap.
