What soap/cream did you use today?

I used my Rocca razor with a fresh feather blade.  With that combo the soap better be on point!  

Rocca with a Feather, do you not respect life??? That is some serious blade feel.

.95 Lupo inbound I better be ok with blade feel.

Do enjoy!

Windsor (D.R. Harris & Co. Ltd.) leathery vetiver
Shave 17 ・ 92 g left

Last month when I used Windsor I learned my lesson. At that time I was coming off a stint with lots of soft artisan soaps. They could fill a brush to bursting with only a few dozen swirls. But you can’t get away with flimsy loading when you’re using a rock hard soap. I went way too easy on this triple-milled puck. Even though the lather seemed pretty nice, it lacked the necessary protection. Several hours after my shave my face was aching. To avoid a reply of that sorry scene, today I gave the puck at least two-hundred swirls. As you might expect, the lather was much richer and much more protective. To add to the bliss I finished with a big drop of Windsor Aftershave Milk. That stuff is sweet, and I’m loving my Windsor again.

Star of the show was the shave soap made in the UK which was new to me. I saw it was called Dave and the scent seemed to be in my wheelhouse so.....I would call it a Croap as it's soft but not to the point of a cream. It loads easy and takes water well and took to a nice sour cream consistency. The scent is nice and fresh and described by the maker (I agree) below:

The inspiration behind ‘DAVE’ comes from our founder’s father David, a great source of inspiration at Løthur. This was a man who was seldom found without a cup of the ‘good stuff’ in hand (English breakfast tea) and was rarely seen out of his sacred space, the back garden. David grew giant lilies, creeping jasmine, tall sweet peas and vibrant iris flowers.

DAVE opens with light, citrusy and fruity top notes, reminiscent of Darjeeling tea. It has a soft jasmine accord at its heart and is perfectly rooted with notes of assam and powdery iris root.

Have a Stupid Fun Day Folks !!
