What soap/cream did you use today?

Stirling Soap Co. Black Cherry

How is the black cherry... Strong or a light scent? Thanks.

It's a solid cherry scent but it is on the lighter side. If I were to get it again I would probably try the mentholated version.

Lavender (DR Harris & Co.) tinny lavender

The lather's good, but the scent's just ho hum. Lavender plays really well with other notes like cedar or citrus or herbs. In fact, it's just an all around good neighbor. On its own it's not bad, either. So you'd think if you were doing a lavender soliflore, you'd get the best smelling lavender you could find, something that smells plump and purple. Unfortunately, that's not what's going on in this soap. This lavender is washed out and metallic. As far as my nose was concerned, today's first pass was dismal. Not that there was anything wrong with the suds, but the scent put my fillings on edge. Luckily, a spritz of Eau de L'Occitan – a smooth, peppery lavender – saved the second pass.

Have you tried the loccitane soap it is good. I own two DR Harris soaps and their fragrance always seems week.

XPEC Original shaving cream (first version)

Cape Verde (Mickey Lee Soapworks) citrus fougère

I'm going to have to fight my wife for Cape Verde. She's mad for this scent of sour oranges, bergamot and lemon nestled in a lavender bush in full bloom with herbs and moss scattered all around. It's rich, robust, and yet surprisingly light. Why have I waited so long to try this?

Today was an excellent shave with WK Padre Leone and the matching mentholated aftershave! Great stuff!
