Valle Crucis Shaving Soap - by Murphy and McNeil / Black Mountain Shaving

Description Valle Crucis is a small town between Boone and Banner Elk. It was established in 1842 by a NC Episcopalian Bishop Levi Ives looking to set up a mountain mission. He named it this due to seeing a couple of creeks intersect (more than likely with the Watauga river). It's Latin for vale of the cross. Walking about this town and perhaps lying in the field relaxing, I feel like the bishop might have: a place to restore and seek a feeling of being centered, or simply finding what is within. I hope this scent takes you to a place that enables that.Scent Profile:  Top  Orange, Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain  Middle Lavender, Cardamom, Benzoin Base Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Amber, Vanilla, Labdanum   Ingredients: Base: Kodiak - ONLY THE INITIAL BATCH WILL BE IN KODIAK Ingredients: Water, Stearic Acid, Duck Fat, Tallow Beef Potassium Hydroxide, Tallow Bear, Castor Oil Kokum Butter, Goat Milk, Sodium Hydroxide Shea Butter, Lanolin, Jojoba Oil, Fragrance Kaolin Clay, Tocopheral,
