Kensei Shave Soap - by Gentleman's Nod

Description

How do you follow up on your best selling fragrance? Create something just as uniquely beautiful, if not more so.

Kensei opens with a beautifully unique citrus blast of Blood Orange, Yuzu, and Yellow Mandarin. It is light, juicy, tangy and undeniably uplifting. The sweet and crisp Nashi pear adds to this energizing and delectable opening.

The fresh open transforms with the rich complexity of Lapsang Suchong tea. The uniqueness of this tea cannot be overstated. The tea is smoke dried over pine wood creating an effect that adds a hint of wood smoke and resin to the depth of black tea. The floral combo of Neroli and Violet keep the fragrance light and fresh extending the lift from the citrus open.

An exotic mix of black pepper and saffron create a luxurious creamy, warm spiced effect that leads into a comforting woody finish.

In the shave soap we boosted the Blood Orange note and the spice accord with a Madagascar Ginger.

How to Use

Soak your shaving brush in warm water. Separate an almond-sized amount of soap from the sample and press it into your lather bowl, or the palm of your hand. Load brush with soap by whisking brush over top of soap in a circular motion. This tends to be a thirsty soap so for a rich, dense lather add a few drops of water at a time as you build the lather in your favorite bowl or on your mug (aka face). You can also add a few drops of hot water on top of the soap before starting for quicker lathering. Shave well!
