What soap/cream did you use today?

88 Chestnut St t. (Declaration Grooming) neroli explosion
Shave 4 ・ 94% left

The neroli caught me by the nose right off, but what really impressed me was all the green in the fragrance. I didn’t notice it off the puck, but once the lather came together, I got all sorts of curious herby bits that gave the scent body and depth. As for the performance, I'm still having trouble loading this semi-soft soap. The more I swirl my brush over the puck, the mushier it gets. But oddly it doesn't cling well to the bristles. This might end up being a 'scoop & smear' soap.

You hit the nail on the head with the comment about scoop and smear. This is how I use my Milksteak soaps from Declaration Grooming. And I don't stint on the amount I smear on the bottom of my bowl--apply a damp brush to this goodness and a beautiful lather results as one adds more and more droplets of water. This is actually my preferred method of creating lather which I use with all the soaps which are soft like Milksteak e.g. B&M Soft Heart.

After doing "Tabac Tuesday" yesterday, it dawned on me that it's been ages since I've done a "William's Wednesday". Check...done.

Fluffy pillow lather from this puck. Nice rose fragrance - face lathered for 5 minutes - micro-bubbles very resistant to dissipation.

Kiehls Original Musk a good post shave pairing.

C U all tomorrow
