The Boomslang range is all about *tapping into the popularity of a very popular fragrance that has been around for years and is loved by millions of men worldwide, it comes in a green bottle and has a name is a homophone to the word 'brute', or rude person, also known as a savage, beast or monster. Aptly so, the Boomslang falls well within all of these descriptions. The fragrance is generically similar to the original product, but there is extra reward in the beautifully smooth mutton tallow based shaving soap that has some great attributes that have the potential to convert you into a habitual, or even dedicated user, the addiction is real!
This shaving soap is a late addition to our Boomslang balm, which saw the light a few months back. The soap has a medium peppermint and menthol kick to it that will add a level of cool 'freshiness' to your shave, similar if which you will find in very few mainstream products, the balm offers an additional cool kick, and the cherry on top is that you can choose from three different levels of icy kick in the post shave balm!
As set out in the summary of this collection page, sheep/lamb tallow has qualities different to that of beef tallow, it is a new avenue we have strolled into and we will continue to explore and experiment with it. For now we do not anticipate any changes to the base formulation, but there may be some cosmetic changes in terms of colour and appearance. Please do try this new product and leave detailed reviews, the more we get the better know which way to steer the ship, to us it is a great shaving soap base, but chances are it may very well be improved upon, recipes can be adjusted in millions of ways, and it is unlikely we have found the best possible base in the first few tries, with your help this one may venture into the hallowed halls of tallow titans.
Ingredients: Mutton tallow, H20, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Castor oil, Kalahari Melon oil, Virgin cold pressed Coconut oil, right off the tree, fragrance oils and essential oils.
Expect the following; Great slickness both during the shave and residual, a medium to heavy fragranced soap in cool, fresh notes. It lathers up in reasonable time, so don't rush this one, allow yourself some time to enjoy the sensation and see the lather build from flat soap to hyperlather in anything from 1 to 3 minutes. This soap is so refreshing, it has been said to boost ones IQ by two or three levels, others say it is better tha coffee in the morning!!
It can be quite a thirsty soap when properly loaded, so you may consider dripping some water on your brush after a minute or so of lathering and then transfer to your face for a beautiful shiny, sheeny lather.
*We don't like using the word 'homage' as our interpretation of the word means the act should have no compensation for the party who pays the homege.
