sented shave soaps

[jman1350]

i just bought a puck of van der hagen and decided to make it smell different. i melted it and then put my favorite cologne, santa fe, in it. i was just wondering if anyone has done this and what did you make yours smell like.

I make handcrafted Bay Rum that I absolutely love, I add some of that scent to VDH. I've also added Yardley and a Citrus Bay Rum that failed to make it past my nose, but it's great in the VDH.

BTW, I don't melt it right into the VDH. That would lock me in. I just add it as desired to the top of the VDH before loading the brush.

This thread from the shaving soap forum should give you a few ideas.
