What soap/cream did you use today?

Having read the posts of D.R. Harris over the past several years, I've always wanted to try this soap/base.  When vtmax put this one on the BST, I decided it was time.  Scent-wise, I'm loving it.  Lather-wise, i'm going to hold off judgement for now.  I really need more time to experiment with it, as you can see today's lather has more "bubbles" than I would like but it was still nice and slick

HoosierShave, I'm going to be watching your efforts closely. Frankly, what you lathered up this morning looks pretty typical of what I've been able to coax out of my pucks of D.R. Harris. If you can get something denser and glossier, you will only confirm the general estimation of this forum that you are a lather master of the highest rank. Be bold with your loading! Two hundred swirls is not too much with this soap. But be not too bold with your water, especially at first. Good luck!

Ethos- Tibu Sabuni cream

My skin started to peel yesterday after all that sun on Saturday. So I wanted to use something with extra TLC and nourishment during today's mechanical exfoliation.


 

Seaforth! Fleur de France (Spearhead) musky rosemary
Shave 11 ・ 82% left

When we return home after a long absence, we find ourselves greeted by a chorus of curious scents, neither good nor bad, but inviting nonetheless. They welcome us back and make us feel at ease. But as we become accustomed to them, they fade into the background, and our noses no longer register them. This is precisely what has happened with Fleur de France. In the beginning, its aroma was strong and heady, a musky herbal blend that filled the room. But as time went on, it became a mere hint, a subtle sweetness that accompanied the task at hand. Curiously, not all smells follow this pattern. Some, like unpleasant odors, seem to intensify with time, growing worse as they linger. It's as if our brains are urging us to deal quickly with the unsavory matter before us.

Hag's Soap Grinched with Guinness base.  Fastest I've ever gone through a puck of soap.  Love it - both as a soap and with its scent.  Too bad I can't seem to find another puck anywhere.
