What soap/cream did you use today?

The one and only Tabac (tallow).

Patchouli t. (Turtleship Shave Co.) patchouli, vetiver, juniper
Shave 1 ・ 100% left

Holy shmoly, this stuff is loaded for bear. The good people at Turtleship have found out some excellent patchouli, and they’re not shy about sharing it. It comes on strong, and the vetiver and juniper that follow certainly don’t soften the blow. After only one shave, I’m ready to elevate this soap into the pantheon of majestic reekers. What about the shave? Sublime. Just sublime. This puck is packed with all the fats that let my razor dance lilting pirouettes across my boney face. Finished off with Santa Maria Novella Patchouli cologne. I reek to high heaven. My wife won’t come close. But even though I’ll be sleeping alone tonight, I’ll be snoring with a smile on my face.

Turtleship deserves far better than the current regard - unfortunate name for quite good shave soap.  One could suggest it a historically significant but inglorious name

Nivea Sensitive Shaving Cream

It’s always a good day with AOS Valobra!  Wondershave complete although the sandalwood scent was lost on my challenged nose.  I wanted to have a well known performer for my spanking new brass Black Bird.  I’ll report on the razor later but it’s a good one and a true two-passer.

Really looking forward to your razor report, Lip! Where will you be posting it?
