What soap/cream did you use today?

Haslinger used to be a favorite of mine as it was around when this ball started rolling.  It performed well, and still does.  Scents are where it tails off though.  I still have about 4 flavors, sheeps milk is the best but even it will not be replaced due to artificial scents.  They are ok.  Just not as good as can be had in a number of other places. Sage today and the shave was excellent.

Love the haslinger pucks. Coconut is good i think. I like the marigold one too. Dang i wish they still made the tallow stuff.

Poggio dei Pini t. (Mystic Water) pine & flowers

Stearic acid is the backbone of most soaps. Look at your label and you’ll usually find it listed among the first three ingredients. Mystic Water, however, leads off with tallow. Stearic acid is number 13 on the list. So what’s holding this soap together? It looks like tallow, Castor oil, glycerin, and Shea butter do a lot of the heavy lifting followed by avocado oil and palm oil. Building a lather takes some careful loading and a lot of brush & water work, but the results are worth it. If you prefer a slick, juicy lather with the finest grain possible and a finish that’s as plump as pudding, sink your brush into a tub of Mystic Water. Today’s scent, Poggio dei Pini, is a very floral interpretation of pine. I’ve had it for years and it still smells quite flowery. Noble Otter’s Trail does a better coniferous floral, but it’s hard to beat a MW finish.

   

Gillette Pure Shave Cream

A nice contrasting scent to Shannon's Black Magic.  Off the puck, I really pick up the vanilla but, once lathered, the mints really come through.  The mint scent isn't too strong though as the vanilla helps calm it down.  Overall, the scent is really nice and almost perfect for the upcoming Holiday season.  Performance of Shannon's...well, simply put, it's one of the best - ooey-gooey type lather with fantastic post-shave qualities!

Taylor of Old Bond Street Avocado Shaving Cream...

Harrods by Floris shaving soap (tallow).  Not a lot of scent is left, and I may need to start using a touch of cologne or cologne-type aftershave with it when building lather; but its lather is wonderful otherwise.
