Noxzema. This tube is made in Italy. I have a red one that is made in Greece. The one I used today performs fairly good. Although it dries out a bit quicker than I manage to complete my long pass plus touch ups routine (I'm a one-pass shaver), so that is a minus. Scent is somewhat medicinal but at the same time kind of pleasant. I wonder how will I ever go through the entire 150 ml tube. My old man's bathroom cabinet is already packed with shaving products I pass on to him but he never uses any.[Image: 406f7d81534ccf5cb07c5bf12519e4c3.jpg]

Czech & Speake Oxford and Cambridge shaving soap + Rose Geranium Absolute Hydrosol. By itself the soap is kind of boring, but the hydrosol livens it up well.

Am of multiple minds on animal reintroduction, solid arguments on both sides.

In the end there is the uncomfortable fact that few have the courage to confront: artificial selection can never achieve sustainable diversity be it biologic or otherwise, only a suboptimal imbalance requiring continued external manipulation to maintain.

Wolves have become more than a bit problematic I must say.  And it is tough to have dictated to wd who live here what we can or cannot do when wolves are concerned.

It doesn't take much at all!  I do wish more US vendors would carry MT soaps, the scents and packaging are top-notch.  The lather is on the "light" side but provides more than sufficient cushion and slickness.

BTW, how strong does the Rose Geranium come through on the scent?
Not strong at all. Lavender de Luxe is mostly, well, just lavender. The rose geranium adds some floral oomph, and I can smell it clearly in the puck, but it fades in the lather. 

And that lather ... every time I whip up a batch, I think this stuff's never going to work. It's too light and fluffy. But then I smear it on my face and go to work with a razor and everything turns out just magnificent. I love the finish – soft but still dry, it's perfect for a wet and drippy day.
