What soap/cream did you use today?

Ha ha ha Rob, you know, I live in Russia. I buy all my soaps and pay for expensive shipping. In my collection there are no donated soap cans from any American manufacturer. And I will never take it, because I value the soap dispassionately. I have cherries. If you are in Russia I will give you. Send to America? I don’t know if I can do this. I never sent parcels outside of Russia

Polo, I travel to Moscow frequently on biz. Less so obviously now with covid. I hope to be there again this fall. I am glad to bring a suitcase load of supplies to you. Let me know -

Our company dwellings are near Europinski mall and the Kievskaya metro. I am guessing I will be there in October / November.  This will cost you at least one shot of Ruusian Standard on the Arbot

Thank you for the suggestion ! I really appreciate your attention. When there is time closer to your trip, we can return to this conversation. There is a truth, one small BUT. I live in St. Petersburg, not in Moscow. And I’m close to the Kievskaya metro station, about 800-850 km. This is a joke, but it really is. But it's not a problem . I think this can also be solved.

Polo,
I made 3 trips to St Pete last year. Hope to get back soon. Beautiful city! Great museums, and the prettiest ladies on the planet. I hope to be of service when the pandemic lessens.

What sort of wooden contraption am I looking at here?  Sure it wasn’t made for SOTD photos although it works well for that purpose.

Yeah - lip you got the contraption part right. It takes most people several tries to assemble it collapses down to a very small package. I was in Uzbekistan 13 years ago, deep in the countryside and picked this up at a mosque gift shop. It is designed to hold the Koran. I like Neros idea, but that and a couple of rugs were the only things worth purchasing while in country. I did get the worse case of food poisoning i have ever had - wanted to slit my neck. It is a good shave prop I think.

Oops, sorry! I really did think it was a dish drying rack. No disrespect intended!

good lather has no suds

Lol. It would make. A good pot dryer, or for drying laundry. Your comment made me laugh. I think I finally found a good purpose for this thing- SOTD posing machine

Great lather has no suds, bubbles, or foam!

It's curious that a soap named Woodland Frost doesn't have any menthol.  A bigger curiosity is why I didn't pick up the Chill Mill earlier!  Four twists gave this Shannon's Soap a pleasant cooling affect. 

Really wish this Artisan was still creating new products. Fantastic performance, definitely top tier.

A&E Kaizen. Really great stuff, the scent is a little artificial to my nose, but the performance is top tier.

Havane v. (Le Père Lucien) tobacco, rum, wood

Two days ago I was ready to bin Havane, the shave was so shoddy – today my face is as slick as Mount Rushmore after a rainstorm. What happened? First, I cut way back on the water, adding it sparingly only after the soap had fully blossomed. And second, I put almost no pressure on the blade. In fact, I sort of lifted the razor off my skin. I came away with a fantastically close shave without irritation. The finish, too, has been excellent even though there's nothing but glycerin in the mix to soothe the skin. I guess I'll have to hold on to Havane a little longer.
