Review (5/5): Not of this world
Let me take you down this journey with me. At times it will be almost overwhelming but I assure you this soap is sheer pleasure. Upon arrival I opened the amazon cardboard box and discovered a small biodegradable looking container that suited the magical bar perfectly. I opened it's shell revealing the most lovely scent I've ever smelled. Its a mint smell. I know what your thinking big deal mint? Wrong! This is no ordinary mint. This mint not only refreshes your beard and your skin it also refreshes your very soul. I cut off a corner using a stilleto style switch blade as to not wast the bar and I took the small jewel with me into the shower and after rinsing myself I could wait no longer. I grabbed the potent gem and began to rub it along my beard. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It's the smell of spring after a fresh rain. It's the smell of a newborn baby. It's the smell of fresh baked cookies. It's the smell of a good Texas bbq. It's the smell of your loves perfume. It's walking through kawachi fuji-en garden in spring and breathing it all in. It's that first breath of air when you dive too deep in Belize and aren't sure if you will make it to the surface. Then the lathering begins and you realize you need very little of this prized soap. It envelopes and cuddles your face taking you even deeper into its magical embrace. At first it feels like a gentle tide on the shores of cozumel as the foam gently tickles your toes. Then it thickens even thicker and foamier then you thought possible. You realize you ar getting a deeper clean. Like that first shower that washes the dirt off of you after a month of being in the field sleeping in the dirt and heat of Helmand Province. It's that first swig of beer on a hot summer day after mowing your lawn. It's eating a paleta in Mexico city while admiring the architecture. It's that fresh feeling of brushing your teeth before bed. It's that breeze running through your hair in that Corvette with the top down while you cruise that 17 mile drive down California's Pacific Coast Highway. It's the breeze and smell of the open seas on that cruise to the Caribbean. The feelings you get while using this most holy of grails is every good memory you've ever had. It's sitting in a big comfy couch in front of a toasty fireplace while sipping a hot chocolate with marshmallows after skiing all day in St. Anton. Its eating smores around a campfire in Yosemite Park after a day full of nature. It's that first kiss after a bad break up when your heart is finally over them. It's seeing that first ray of sunlight in the Grand Canyon and having your breath taken away making you realize the 14 hour drive was worth it. It's the first time you dive the Great Barrier reef. It's that moment your name is drawn for the raffle you were praying you would win. It's the feeling that moment you finally reach the top of Mount Everest. It's the view in Machu Picchu. It's that first time you ride a wave and keep your balance on your board. It's being a parent and seeing your baby for the first time. It's seeing the Aurora lights in Alaska. It's that moment you own your house and no longer have to pay the bank. It's telling your jerk boss what you really think about him. It's Canon in D major. It's making snow angels in first snow fall. It's completing the San Francisco marathon. It's sleeping in a hammock on the beach. It's seeing your family after a long deployment. It's having your DI hand you your EGA on the parade deck and congratulating you on becoming a Marine. It's becoming a SNCO. It's taking your Harley out on a road trip. It's taking the top off your Jeep and driving the Riverplace Nature trail. It's cooling off in the havasupai falls after the trek down. It's timing your jump just right in La Quebrada cliffs. Its standing under Waimoku falls and letting the cool water soothe you. This soap is no ordinary soap, and if you let it then it will remind you over and over again.
