Talbot Shaving ( / talbotshaving ) is releasing their summer seasonal scent today, at both West Coast Shaving (www.westcoasts...) and Top of the Chain (topofthechain..... Okuma was created in collaboration with Ross M ( / omcnastyo , a good friend of Chad’s and a wet shaving influencer on RU-vid. Okuma features Talbot Shaving’s updated soap base, v3, and will be accompanied by Maol Grooming’s new aftershave formula, v2, in the matching scent. In lieu of the normal donation to the Trust for Public Land (www.tpl.org/), Chad and Ross agreed to pivot for this release. The charity of choice for this scent is the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). This is a nonprofit charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events to support wounded veterans of military action, following the tragedy of September 11, 2001. For more information or to donate, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org/. This charity is near and dear to both Ross and Chad’s heart.
Okuma was inspired by Ross M’s pre-teen years on the Pacific Ocean island. The fragrance features notes of: Yuzu, Passion Fruit, Lemon, Ocean, Cypress and Forest Floor. The resulting blend offers a tart citrus top, a middle of passion fruit and ocean feel and a base of earth. This is a near perfect summer wear. Mrs. Ruds loves this scent for all occasions. She even approves of it for date night now that the weather is warm. Strength of scent is mid off the puck and remains mide once lathered. Try That Soap (trythatsoap.com/) recommends Barrister and Mann - Citricuyá as a similar scent profile.
Talbot Shaving v3 soap base is fifteen (15) months in the making. I have been fortunate to test each of the iterations. Talbot Shaving is constantly looking to improve and with this effort Chad specifically addressed areas where he felt improvements could be made. Ingredients for Talbot Shaving v3 can be found here: Talbot Shaving. The new soap base is firm. The load and lather process is mindlessly easy. When dialed in, the resulting lather will resemble the consistency of sour cream. The primary and residual slickness is like a 101 mph fastball. The razor glides so effortlessly in the presence of visible lather and without. The post shave of v3 is dramatically improved and is on a level playing field with all of the current kings of post shave. The post shave leaves a silky soft moisturizing feeling on the skin for hours after the shave has been completed. To say that I am impressed with Talbot Shaving v3 would be a disservice to the performance. This base is immediately among the soap base kings. Talbot Shaving v3 receives a ShaveScore of 101. For a similar lather and performance experience, I suggest Ariana & Evans Kaizen.
