What soap/cream did you use today?

Hot in Idaho this week and something light seemed right.  Stirling peach seemed the right choice and boy was it.  The scent isn’t exactly “fresh peach” but it is pleasant and summery and of course Stirling performance is very nice.  

Fougère v. (Martin de Candre) warm & green

Family and friends have consistently berated my fougère soaps for smelling too much like an 'old man'. One cousin vividly described the fragrance as 'a restroom in an old folks home'. I admit that at the beginning of my wet-shave odyssey, it took me a while to warm up to fougères. I had long memories of college dorms drenched in a reeking miasma of Brut and Drakkar Noir, but I never really got the 'old-man' vibe until I did the math and realized those days were nearly forty years ago. Thankfully this jar of Martin de Candre Fougère is a tamed and civilized interpretation of the genre.

Not a Drakar fan but I sure like vintage brut.  And I never did understand why a man wants to share a modern cologne with every other man on the planet.  Even worse, unisex scents.  What’s the point in that?  Stay with your fougeres and live life free!

Old Virginia t. (Asylum Shave Works) tobacco barn

A shave with tallow-rich Old Virginia followed by a light dusting of Pinaud Clubman talc led to a soft, velvety finish that lasted all day and well into the evening. Before this morning, I'd never used talcum powder; now it's hard to imagine that I'll ever shave without it.
