What soap/cream did you use today?

Le Grand Chypre (Barrister & Mann) lime chypre

The complex scent of this soap got lost in the hurly burly of a busy day, but the great feeling of a freshly shaved face lasted nearly twelve hours.

Because I felt like a challenge, Pre de Provence. We battled but eventually the rocklike puck yielded a very nice lather. Had to relather for each pass, which I expected. I like this soap and now can skip the gym.

I literally laughed out loud at how funny that was to relate to. You must have broken in your brush a bit more from it but in the end you were breathing hard to get that good lather.

Pre de Provence is a very pleasant herby smell.

I have used Pre de Provence for about 3 years.  Not only is it a great product, it is very easy to lather (using distilled water), it's slick on the face and an excellent post shave.  I have 80 soaps and creams in my rotation so it takes a while to get around to it but, it appears that it will last forever.

This is all I used after 3 years:
