SOTD 11-17 July 2021

Going out of town for three  days, I thought I'd get in an evening shave with the Faza, which may be Italian or not. It's a lovely piece of jewelry but a pretty lousy razor. One side is extremely mild, the other completely useless, I gave up before finding out how much pressure I'd have to use to get the edge touching skin. It will cut with the narrow Fatip mk1 cap but with chatter. On the plus side the lovely handle mates with the Fatip just fine.

One of my wife's FAVORITE places is Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains. We've been thru it more times than I can count in a car, on a motorcycle and even hay rides. I have pedal biked it at midnight with friends when there was a full moon and had Black Bear and coyote run across the path as we were riding. Just a beautiful area and the most visited place in the Smokey's. So when I saw this set getting rleased I knew I had to get it even though I have been halting soap purchases of late and pairing down the inventory. The scent is described well as:

"So, this Cade’s Cove aroma embraces the ambience of the Great Smoky Mountains. This valley in Tennessee is represented by green grassy notes and honeysuckle on a woody, musky base."

This is a BEAUTIFUL scent and always a top level performing soap and splash. Just a great shave. The Bread Lame slice was reopened during the shave but settled down quicker than yesterday and will heal fine........eventually. Have an adventurous day Folks !

I would LOVE to be there right now, of course avoid Loop Road at all costs in summer.  A visit to Aunt Debbie’s is in my cards very soon!
