I smell like a Christmas pudding
I am a lover of vintage Faberge brut products and have a modest collection. I have long wished for a Brut shaving soap and have decided to attempt to make my own. So far I have grated a puck of MWF into a mug - a vintage Shulton Old Spice mug as I have no suitable Brut branded item, indeed I am not totally convinced that such an item exists. I used MWF as to my nose it has a neutral soapy, lanolin scent without any additional perfume. To this grated soap I added about 50ml of modern Brut combined with around 10ml of vintage pre-Brut-33 Faberge Brut. The original is too precious, to me at least, to use undiluted. The resultant mixture could be lightly formed into shape in the mug and I depressed the surface to the point at which the liquid began to rise to the top. I have left it overnight and the soap seems to have significantly hardened and the scent is superb. I am intending to leave the soap for a good few days, maybe even a week before use and am hoping that the scent remains, and that the addition of the Brut has not detrimentally affected the performance of the MWF. Have any other members tried such procedures and how were the results?
