Going by my alphabetical soap rotation, it was supposed to be Arko tonight, but I could not find the already-open stick.
Since I was heading out to a small (6) dinner party dressed in an Italian Renaissance outfit (red ducal mortier a la Federico da Montefeltro, a blue wool demi-gown/houppeland sort of jacket, black tights, ivory silk shirt, and
poulaines for footwear, fancy stiletto dagger) I thought some Amici ("friends" in Italian) soap and splash was a good way to treat myself.
Scooping the soap out the tub and mashing it into the bottom of the lather bowl is working out pretty well for me.
A BBS, then I finished up by using some "göt2be glued" spiking glue and a hair drier on my handlebar. It helps keep it out of the soup.
We had a wonderful evening.
