Henri et Victoria Duc de Santal shaving soap

For the past couple years Shannon's has been my Jan 1 soap of choice.  But something was just calling for Laugar Skogsra today.  Paired up perfectly with Stirling Gin & Tonic AS.

Your lather shots are the best!!

Unreal what you do with your lathers.

Lather porn lol

Thank you!  Creating a lather is definitely one of my favorite aspects of wet-shaving.  Finally get to spend some time with all those scents and soap bases we've been chasing

Left work a little early on Friday since I wasn't feeling great...headache, sore threat, and tired as could be (although being up at 2 am didn't help that last symptom).  Woke up yesterday morning and everything was exacerbated plus joint soreness and lower-back pain set in.  But, thankfully, the COVID test was negative. Needless to say, I decided to take yesterday day off and rest.  That included personal grooming...so no shave yesterday.  Today wasn't too much better but I did finally get around to shaving.  Decided Lavandin & Eucaplyptus had enough of a medicinal scent to be a good soap this afternoon...

Declaration Grooming After the Rain claims to smell of wet pine, muted lavender, white pepper and cedar.  To me I get unmuted lavender and mint.  It’s a nice scent but I sure don’t get “after the rain” vibe.

Sounds like Covid to me.  Whatever happens though, get feeling better bud.

Lemongrass, coriander, mint, and annatto are the flavor notes in this soap’s fragrance. It smells right tasty, and it reminds me of a fresh curry. Beside its spicy base, there’s also a pinch of mint that provides a suitable level of cooling for a mid-winter shave.

Idaho Shiras Moose.  I picked up a shed antler a while back and made a couple of brush handles.
