What soap/cream did you use today?

Lit my face on fire, but that's the scent I was waiting for. Ugh.

Question, do you do 3 passes? If so does it burn on every pass?

I do 2-3 passes.
I don't remember if it burned on the first pass. I used it once or twice and had to get rid of it. That was over a year ago, so I just don't remember the detail.

Taconic Bay Rum Shave Cream

How'd you like it?
I've used a couple of their other creams (Urban Woods and Tequila Lime) and they're quite nice and very slick. I really like that they use organic oils, too.

Hey Nero,

How's the tequila lime? Is there much substance beyond like, or is the name more gimmicky? Love lime scents, but they are fleeting without other notes involved.

Thanks.

There is a hint of the tequila.
I don't like the scents that are liquor-forward, so I'm happy it's mostly lime and the tequila is secondary.

Oh, I thought you still were using it.

Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap (tallow). Wonderful.

Kind of on an Acqua di Gio kick and had this puck of Stirling Dunshire that was unused. There are no surprises here. Stirling in my water likes a wet brush and the Semogue 830 that most like for a bowl lather beater fits my face-lather style wonderfully well. The scent does resemble AdG although without the complexity of the Armani juice. Scent strength is a mild one for a Stirling soap which is just fine for me. It's about 5/10 but has no fading. Here is an odd thing though. Although the soap is not highly scented, the scent lingers long after the shave. It's lunchtime here and I can still get a whiff of it and that long-term scent is the best part about the soap. I'll keep this one around. (Sorry all you family PIF hounds)

T+S /WCS - Orangeilla- Imagine yourself taking a nap in an orange orchard on a beautiful day with just a slight breeze blowing. The V3 base delivers its usual incredible performance. Totally satisfying shave.

Just about ordered this one the other day. What can you tell me about it?
