Houbigant Fougère Royale shaving soap (vintage)

Covid-19 put me on the sidelines for the past 5 weeks.  No, I didn't have the virus but it sure made my market sick!  Finally we begin to open business and find a landscape that is shot full of holes.  Many whom I used to work with are furloughed or gone.  Many who I work with now are scared to make decisions.  Sure is awesome to be back to work but it sure is a different game for right now.  Not to make light of those who still struggle to find work, but those 5 slack weeks were anything but a vacation.  My thoughts are with you as you look for your next spot.  You know what really helped me though?  Getting up and getting ready just as though I was going to work.  And the top-knot of the ritual was the morning shave.  Kept my mind right.  Kept my appearance sharp.  And that kept my attitude as bright as I could make it.  This morning my ritual continued with a great shave!  Mikes Lavender.

Kasbah t. (Eufros) spring amber

Though Kasbah made a right sloppy lather, it finished surprisingly dry. The label lists glycerin, jojoba, lanolin, Shea butter, and even cotton. This combo should leave me plump as a berry and feeling smooth for hours. Must have caught it on a bad day.
