What soap/cream did you use today?

MdC Original

Used some Mitchell's Wool Fat, today.. 
Not impressed, as the razor was kinda skipping across my skin, instead of gliding.. 

Whatevs, B&M 42 will be back in full effect, here soon!

I love the Fat!  Sorry it doesn't work well for you.

Barrister and Mann always treats me right.  Today Nordost kicked butt.

Once again the Marco Method yielded a boatload of lather that overran my cup ... and plastered the sink, the mirror, the blinds, the walls, and the floor. It took a lot of patience to swirl and swirl and swirl the flighty suds into stiff peaks. It wasn't until I had finished three passes that I finally was able to work the remaining emulsion into a beautiful creamy lather. Of course, by then I had no use for it but to stare at it in deepest admiration of its glossy, full-bodied texture. I might have to cut back the water by half and lessen the load as well so that I can get to the good stuff sooner.

Lipripper660: just how smokey is that smoked orange in Nordost?

Barrister and Mann Leviathan

At times, I think I like the slightly rounder scent of the Leviathan soap even more than the rather sharp fragrance of the splash. They are both great in their own way. Soap has a tendency to mess with the fragrances in it, so the splash is in that sense the true representation of Leviathan.

Bouki, I don’t pick up any “direct” smokiness in my Nordost. If it’s there (which I’m sure it is), it only has a supporting role. All in all, though, Nordost is great in my book!

a very rare and older soap that probably less than 4-6 of us have...smells awesome!

Lipripper660: just how smokey is that smoked orange in Nordost?

Bouki, I was intrigued by Nordost due to the "smoke" aspect.  Unfortunately for me, I really don't pick up much smoke and get more of a straight-up orange scent.  But I do believe I am in the minority on that opinion so it will be interesting to see Lipripper660 's answer to your question.
