Lemon Frost, an experimental soap
Another experiment from Honeybee Spa. After reading my comments on the previous soap, Peppermint Frost, Susan emailed to say that the lather’s quick demise was undoubtedly due to some reaction between the menthol and the essential oil being used, so she will experiment further.
Bringing a new soap to market still involves a certain amount of trial and error, and the soap that eventually does come to market will be much better than the prototype that I tried. So please do not assume that my experience with the soap will foretell yours: quite apart from individual differences, the soap you later try will be quite different than the soap I used.
This morning I tried another experimental soap: Lemon Frost. The frost part was quite evident, but I did not get any hit of lemon: it was overwhelmed by the menthol. However, the lather worked better with this soap and did not show the same tendency to die. The lather was indeed a bit thinner than with other Honeybee Spa soaps, but it did a good enough job for a fine shave, using the Feather premium razor and the same Feather blade I began with.
A splash of lime (I thought a citrus theme would be nice), and I’m ready for breakfast and, after a suitable pause, the Nordic.
