When I got home tonight there were a few things in my mailbox. My new Semogue 620, Muhle Silvertip Fibre brush and Dapper Dragon Ice Wyrm soap.
The second I opened the DD I knew I was in love. Very nice pepperminty smell with a bit more complexity to it. I did a quick "break in" on the boar and went to the puck. Now I know this brush isn't the best at bowl lathering but I did it anyway just to play with it. I did a hand lather as well and that was just incredible. Here are my pics of the bowl lather:

When I did the hand lather I didn't notice that crazy menthol chill but a nice soothing feeling and the scent was heavenly. I'm usually pretty critical of scents... as you can tell from my BST listings
This one is a winner and one that will not leave me any time soon. I really am excited to hit it with my Shavemac and Simpsons and see what this stuff really has to offer!
I know that I didn't actually shave with it yet but I didn't have time but will report back as soon as I do!

Very well said Brian! I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly. It's not that crazy peppermint scent but a toned down cooling nice scent and feel.
Now did someone say they were going to send me some Mike's or was I mistaken

So I shaved with it today. It's a VERY nice soap. I've always bought (newbie, so take it with a grain of salt) tallow soaps. I was really surprised by this vegan soap though! Very easy to lather, very nice and slick lather, just a joy to use!
Now I'm going to have to try some other scents. This is a remarkable soap for a wonderful price! Way more value than what you pay!
Great Job Dapper Dragon!
