Spanish Fig & Nutmeg

[Rivguy]

Has anyone had any experience with Spanish Fig & Nutmeg shaving soap? I have a friend in another state that likes this soap very much and the aftershave or cologne, I am not sure which. With a large number of soaps in my rotation that I like, I hesitate to add another... but I may do so.

Thanks for your help,

Doug

I've never tried the soap, but the cologne is really nice. In fact, I liked the cologne so much that I put this soap on my "want" list, but I took it down a notch or two after reading some reviews that said it wasn't that good.

Once again, though, I have no first-hand experience with it. I hope it is better than that, because the scent of the cologne is really nice.

Yeah, I used to own it.

It's a very good -- but not great -- veggie-based soap with an understated, nutmeg-like scent. Sold it on the b/s/t. It's not a bad product, but I like the cologne much better than the soap.

agrrem the cologne is great but there are far better soap choices....

There are also much worse soap choices out there. I bought the whole line for the fragrance, since I like to "match" everything if possible. The cologne is total win and the ASB is decent, just like the soap. I would call it "middle of the road." I find that the soap lather's well.

I have that puck of soap now.

It smells wonderful, but it's only good, not great, as a shaving soap, so I don't use it much. Since it's all about the scent... Hmm... I might have to try the ASB, since I miss the scent.

The ASB looks enticing. I wish the manufacturer would provide an ingredients list.......

It is always good to find another with the same OBSESSION! Did I type OBSESSION? I meant ACQUISITION DISORDER!!!!
I really enjoy the soap for its fragrance as much as its lather-ability. It is nice to have a really different veggie-based soap for a shave. I also find the bath bar and shower gel GREAT!! The asb? Reasonably good. Absorbs quickly, fragrance lingers for a reasonable time, and performs the principal task of moisturizing well. Have never had any feu d'rassage with the shaving soap, so I can not say whether the balm calms or not. The only thing I can say about the cologne is, shame it doesn't market by the long tonne!

Unless you are looking for the pharmacology, you can find a detailing of the principle constituents here.

Does it have Witch Hazel in it?

Doesn't look like it, but the link doesn't give all the ingredients. Allantoin is probably what it has in place of witch hazel.
