Declaration Grooming Vernal Artisan Shaving Soap, 4oz – Milksteak Base
Vernal is spring when everything’s waking up but not quite ready to bloom. It’s the outside reviving, fresh rain washing winter away and bringing fresh buds to branches. Fresh, clean, and green.
Notes, in no particular order: Sweet grass, allspice, nutmeg, sandalwood, orange, ginger, tomato leaf, green tea, bourbon, chamomile, frankincense, coumarin, lavender.
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.
