What soap/cream did you use today?

MdC day 3

Ralph Lauren Safari shaving soap (tallow), a favorite

Used Grooming Dept’s Mandarin Bay today for first time. Super rich, smooth and dare say perfect lather. Scent was subtle Bay leaning more towards the floral side and just glad I managed to find a jar. Mohammed said he may not make another Bay for a while due to the scent derived plant’s availability.

Cape Verde t. (Mickey Lee Soapworks) citrus fougère

(Day 1) – A liberal dose of oak moss gives this tart fragrance a bitter edge that just balances its beach bright mandarine and tangerine notes. It's herby and fresh at the same time and makes a splendid early spring fougère. Today's lather was surprisingly light compared to the wet and weighty BM Reserve I've used the last few days, but the results were still excellent, a clean close shave with a rich finish thanks to the lanolin and Shea butter. I only wish the cushion were deep enough to sink a blade into without worry.

Highly enjoyable “strawberry tea” scent. I can tell that this is a quality soap, but I’m still trying to find the optimal way to lather it. I haven’t quite managed to get the kind of “heavy” lather that I enjoy the most.
