Old Virginia t. (Asylum Shave Works) tobacco, vanilla, hay
I’ve had a lot of creams that turned into soaps, but this is the first soap that’s ever turned into a cream. Well, maybe it’s closer to a croap, but at any rate it’s a lot softer than it used to be. The best way to load it is the juicy Marko Method. The lather comes out dense and oily. It’s also very protective. Today I got a four-pass BBS for the first time since June – no nips, bites, abrasions, or bleeders, just smooth, silky skin. I’d get stuck into Old Virginia on a more permanent basis if it weren’t for just one thing: whenever I use it, the Stone’s “Sweet Virginia” gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Last I used this combination, the soap scent overpowered the Ironside post-shave balm soon after the shave. I could detect the tar for a good while. And the following day, as the water in the shower hit my face – there was Pine Tar again. Truly potent.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

This morning the leather note on First Snow really hit my nose. The fir with the prominent leather and the added scent of the bronze Karve razor had me thinking of saddle leather and brass cartridges and slipping along through the trees at the head of Stinson Creek with my old Savage 250-3000 trying to lay a lick on a Wiley old buck. Such a great scent and soap. If Will ever stops making it I’m going to throw pucks of Williams at him until he repents.
