Tallow + Steel Orangeilla…..my favorite T+S scent. Something about the ingredients in this one one just lifts it to the top performing of the T+S varieties I’ve tried. Incredibly slick, creamy, cushioning and protective. Really wish they’d bring this one back. The AS splash is pretty great too.

[font=Helvetica Neue]Summer Break Rope Swing and splash. I do love[/font] the Summer Break summer seasonal soaps. Last year Cannonball, this year Rope Swing. Not only are the scents summery and evocative of their names, but the use of the WS-23 cooling agent really does give an incredible cool sensation. Just great on a humid summer day.

Hot in Idaho. Records are being broken daily. Our snowpack, which was slim going into spring anyway, turned to water early and headed downhill. We sure do need some rain. Lots of rain, but the Idaho Snake River plain is a high desert and precip is generally less than 11 inches annual. Looks like a hot, dry summer ahead.
There is but one more shave in this tub of Poggio dei Pini and this morning the scent is still glorious with its hot pine and scrubbby brush vibe. Great shave but I sure have to load a long time to pick up the soap in its diminished form.

I remember flying over Idaho a few years back when it seemed like most of the state was on fire. I'd look out the window and see dozens of columns of smoke rising thousands of feet into the sky. It was interesting but scary at the same time. Let's hope you all get some rain soon.

I see you've pulled out the Karve Christopher Bradley again. The patina is coming up nicely! I've got one in my shopping cart (baseplate C). What can you tell me about this razor? Hve you liked using it? Could it do for an everyday shaver?
GD "Maleki" again. Since I seem to struggle with badger brushes, I loaded it like it was my last shave ever. It took a little longer, but an incredible lather was squeaked out. Loads of decadent shave goop. It got me wondering...if it truly were my last shave ever (I hope this morning's wasn't, but hey - you never know, do ya?), what would I choose? Would it be Maleki? Dunno. I'd have to give it more thought. What about you fellas?
