I'm going to keep this short.
I have used this soap twice now. First time was a tester and the latest out of the full tub. Many of you know I rate Wholly Kaw Tallow among the very best out there. The new Ass Milk soap takes it to another level. Loads and lathers up faster then the regular Tallow base which is impressive. I'd say something like 10 seconds of loading and one of my big badgers is ready to go. The lather is pretty similar to SdM Ass Milk so not the most yogurty like stuff but that doesn't really mean much. Slickness for days. The only soap I can think of that's as slick is the Esbjerg creams. The post shave feel is the stand out. I love me some lanolin but sometimes the soaps can leave a film on my face. The Monaco washes off so easily and leaves my face feeling nice and soft with out the grimy feeling. The scent is really nice. Pretty neutral IMO. A warm, slightly powdery amber smell but not sweet at all. Definitely a soap that will see a lot of use over the next few months. Depending on what scents /u/whollykaw comes up with for this base I could see it overtaking my den.
I also got a bottle of the Toner. Can't recall anyone using it before so I'll leave a few words on it. Seems like a slightly thinner and non sticky version of Barrister and Mann Kyovu. Scent wasn't incredibly strong and doesn't stick around too long but I wear a cologne everyday so that's not an issue for me. Didn't leave my face feeling as soft as one of the Chatillon Lux Toners but I did like it. I need to use it a few more times before I form an actual opinion on it.
I also want to give a shout to /u/whollykaw and his awesome customer service. Me and a few others have a pass around going on and they ordered the soap and toner as well. Sri and I live pretty close to each other and since I was shipping both of these guys something Sri refunded all of our shipping costs and hand delivered everything to me at my job. Just top notch service and we are all very thankful.
