Henry Shaw is responsible for Tower Grove Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden in Saint Louis. In that garden, flowers and plants from the Far East coexist to species native to the Saint Louis area. In this scent, reflective of Shaw's oasis in South City, the uniquely distinct smell of yuzu citrus, enveloping the unmistakably recognizable smell of rose and the dry, woody scent of patchouli come together so all three work together in unison to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

Milksteak is my tongue-in-cheek name for the culmination of all of my soap crafting experience to date. While the name may be whimsical, it was an incredibly difficult decision to deprecate Bison and Icarus - one I would not make without full confidence that I was releasing not only the best soap base I have ever developed, but one of the finest soap bases ever created.

Over three years of customer feedback, research, theory crafting and, of course, love, went into this soap base. I focused on ease of use (softer than Icarus), slickness, and post-shave - all the hallmarks of a great soap.

I really enjoy this soap. The base is different from all others I have tried, being very foamy AND very slick. The scent is very delightful to me as well, I really get the rose and grapefruity smells (not citrusy, the other parts of the scent). It is mild and restrained, but not too hard to smell.

Wonderful soap! The fragrance is very rose-centered, but I would describe it as a mix of roses and sweet orange, with a touch of woodsiness for depth. Yuzu is a type of Japanese grapefruit, but the scent reminds me of orange juice. It's very refreshing, and tastefully paired with the rose. The patchouli doesn't jump out at me, but it adds a little something to give the scent extra complexity. For just three fragrance notes, this blend is surprisingly complex, and yet still clean and elegant. I guess that's what you get when a soapmaker collaborates with a professional perfumer. The quality is outstanding, and clearly a step above that of most other soapmakers' offerings.

There's a reason this soap went out of stock so quickly just after being introduced. The scent is just absolutely amazing. Declaration Grooming makes a fantastic shave soap and is top 3 in that category. Then pair it with Chatillon Lux my favorite scent/aftershaves artisan, you get one of the best shaves and one of the best scents. This soap is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend getting the aftershave/toner from Chatillon Lux to pair with it.
