dove rose

[urr-lord]

My wife picked up a package of this soap last week,I grabbed a bar to wash my hands with...wow.Smelled really good a nice rose scent,soft not too loud and slickly moisturizing.

So you can see where this is going...How would it shave?I decided to try an experiment.I lightly rubbed my face with a vintage Kaloderma shave stick after a few face washes and masssages.Then I loaded an old Burma brush with the Dove Rose soap and ran it over my face mixing the two soaps and then building some lather in a bowl for future passes.I did 3 passes and had some lather left if I needed another pass.I ended up with a nice shave and nice scent in the bathroom.My face was soft and I could see pairing this up with a mix of Avon Wild Country-Avon Rose a/s for a special night out.

Now I just need to try it unmixed,Or maybe chip it up with some Williams for a sweet frankensoap.

You brought back a childhood memory as I remember once my mom bought the rose pink colored Dove instead of the regular one. Interesting that it worked out for you as a shave soap.

Have not been able to replenish my Asquith-Smith English Rose bath soap lately, and saw this thread with great interest! Did a web search on Dove Rose and found many reviews; but not one mentioned rose scent. Floral was mentioned, but no one said anything about rose. Urr-lord, do others smell the rose?

I commented to my wife that I enjoyed the scent when she used it.Her reply was- it's rose,I like it.

I like it far better than the Yardley rose-pomegranite.The yardley smells like candy,the dove does not.The dove is a soft,pleasant rose scent.

If you want to try a really nice rose-scented bath soap, try Hugo Naturals Wild African Rose. Wonderful scent, amazing lather.

Michelle at Mystic Waters is also working on a rose-lemon bath soap as well as shave soap.

I have shaved with the plain ol Dove Beauty Bar and really liked the results. Rub the bar on your face like a shave stick and it lathers quite well.
