Brooks Brothers shaving soap (vintage)

Today's face-lathering process was cut in half.  I was running late and didn't get to spend the amount of time on the lather-process that i like to.  I loaded for about 20 sec and face-painted for 3 minutes.  I then went into the agitation/swirl process for another four minutes.  The lather still performed well and provided more than enough cushion and slickness for a 3-pass shave, but it's not what i am used to...guess I need to stop sleeping in til 5 am and get my lazy behind out of bed at a respectable hour so I can get a good lather on

I arise early too.  What do you do that gets you up that early?  Mine was a herd of milk cows that trained my brain to not sleep past 5.

Self-employed (1-man shop)...the more I work, the more I make.  And when things get busy, I work as hard as I can for as long as I can.  I learned early on in my career, there will be times when there is very little work.  So it's important to work hard and save when times are good. 

Having said that, family is the priority.  And no one, other than me, is getting up at 3:30 in the morning.  I get a ton of work done prior anyone else getting up.  And it is very rare that I work past 5 or 5:30 pm...that's family time.  So in order to get work done, the alarm goes off early and the first pot of coffee gets started

Wanted to try out a new AS today, Ginger's Garden Amerikesh and knew I needed an "incense"-forward scent for a soap.  Since COVID-19 shutdowns, I haven't traveled as much lately and Dragon's Blood has been my choice for travel soap b/c of the tin size.  Figured today was a good day to bring it out of the dopp kit

Ischiapp: can you explain the image in the label?

It's about the laurel wreath.

The person is Napoleone Bonaparte.
Here pictured in 1811 as Emperor, on a porcelain exposed in Museo delle Porcellane of Florence.

Brilliant! Thank you, ischiapp! I didn't know that all students who graduate from college in Italy may wear a laurel wreath on graduation day. What an excellent custom!
