    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


A true luxury shave for my second SOTD (SSOTD). Elysian Soap Shop is another overlooked brand IMO. Personally, I think the marketing is a bit over-the-top and leans too far into the Elysian Fields/ Greek mythology association, but some of her soaps, like Cherie Tobacco, and this one, don't. The soap base is very nice, and she works with a professional perfumer (I think). It feels like she's trying hard to make a top-notch product.
