Krokos shaving soap

[doctordial]

Has anyone tried this? What does it smell like? I used to burn Saffron incense when I was younger. I was just wondering if it smells like that?

It’s a good soap. It’s lightly scented and to my nose smells like a mixture of honey and hay.

Michael Freedberg has a review on Youtube he did with this soap, he goes into great detail about the soap. Check it out.

Rating: 10/10 - This was my third shave with Krokos. The first shave I scrapped some soap up to bowl lather which worked okay. Now after two more shaves loading the brush from the container, the scent has opened up a bit. Originally I gave it a 2/10. Now I'd give it a 4/10, still mild but quite a nice scent. I'm also getting whiffs of the scent while I was taking the dog outside for her morning routine.

This is my SOTD post from Jan. 2023. I've cooked with quite a bit of saffron in the past and this soap is right on target when it comes to the scent. I found out the hard way that the lather will tint you white t-shirt collar the color of the soap if your wearing one while shaving. Post shave was very good and I'm certainly happy with this soaps performance.
