    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was my first shave with El Dorado; a recent release from Elysian Soap Shop. The soap base is a very nice, modern, tallow, kaolin clay affair. It takes hydration well, has good residual slickness, and good skin feel. The El Dorado fragrance (from the website) is:

Top: White Grapefruit, Lemon Sfumatrice
Middle: Ginger, Vanilla Absolute, Myrrh
Base: Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Incense

I like the scent. Scent strength is on the milder side but not annoyingly so.
