Mammoth Soap Mood Indigo

Описание: Mammoth Soap (  / mammothsoaps  ) released their second scent through West Coast Shaving (https://www.westcoastshaving.com/), on December 28, 2018. As with their initial release (Hygee), the soap sold out in minutes. The wet shaving community is showing a lot of enthusiasm for this rookie artisan and the brand. This release supports the cause Restore NYC (http://www.restorenyc.org). This charity focuses on ending sex trafficking in New York and Mammoth Soaps donates $1 per tub sold to fight this cause.

Mood Indigo is inspired by Duke Ellington’s blues song. The scent notes are: black pepper, oud, vetiver, blueberry, rum and night sky. The scent is quite mellow, warm and smooth. I get just a hint of the berry note and a touch of the black pepper up front, but overall, they fade and the complex scent smells not of individual notes, but of the inspiration behind the blend. The scent is ideal for multi-seasonal use because of its complexity and I would consider this a multipurpose wear because it is smooth and inoffensive. Scent strength is mid-strong off the tub and remains this way during the shave. While this is quite unique, soaps with some similarities are: Australian Private Reserve Ozymandias and Through the Fire Fine Crafts Judy’s Chevelle.

Mammoth Soap utilizes a tallow and duck fat soap base. The ingredients are listed as: stearic acid, water, beef tallow, duck fat, kokum butter, glycerin, castor oil, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, fragrance, murumuru butter, argan oil, lanolin, sodium lactate, tocopherol. The soap is of mid firmness and load very easily into your brush. The base can take a lot of water but doesn’t demand anymore than would be expected from an animal fat based soap. The lather structure is much like cool whip when dialed in. It has high volume and average density to it. The slickness stands with many good animal fat soaps both in terms of primary and secondary slickness. Post shave is luxurious and is the star of this base. Given the overall performance of this soap base, Mammoth Soaps receives a ShaveScore of 89. Soaps with similar performance are Chiseled Face and Mickey Lee Soapworks.
