Wonderful shave. Great scent. Great soap base. The brush was cloud-like, and the razor was sharp but soft as a feather. Perfect!

I wish had a tea scented shave today. So nice

Yes. I saw that earlier. I did not know about Te Java or Turtleship so I went and looked it up. Is the mango butter, grass-fed beef, tussah silk etc. distinctive as a soap base? There are so many great ones out there.

I really enjoy this soap base. It’s very creamy (more so than other artisan soaps) and dense, but it’s not better than any of our topical artisan bases.
Buy it for the Te Java scent, not for the base. Te Java it fantastic! Would you like a smush to see whether you like it?

Thank you for the offer! I already looked into getting a sample. They’re out of stock at the moment, but I can pick one up when they make some more. That will be more convenient, and less expensive overall, than having a smush make its way across the pond.
