This was my first shave with Mike's Natural Soaps. What a nice base. I have shaved plenty of times with soaps having vetiver as a component but couldn't tell you what it specifically smells like. This scent is very nice.

Have a good one.

Mike's is great!

I also really like his Vetiver, but I have to be in the mood for it.
