What soap/cream did you use today?

Listened to the Lather Talk podcast with Stirling yesterday afternoon and decided I needed a good Stirling shave today. TommyCarioca's post the other day on MW F&M made my Stirling scent choice easy

Ethos Grooming Mélange d'Agrumes soft shaving soap

When Dominic first came out with the scent Black Velvet, I liked it from the beginning.  Let me tell you it’s grown on me so much I can’t ever imagine not having this soap around.  If you are hunting for a vetiver soap that is unadulterated and approachable this is it.

Great scent and killer lather, haven’t used it in like 3 years

So much in agreement.  Such a great scent

Seriously though, BTRC really knocked this one out of the park.

An essential part of my stellar shave today.

Laureato v. (Abbate y La Mantia) lemon laurel

Laureato is made with saffron steeped in argan oil. It’s supposed to make the blade flow over your skin. Did I notice anything extra slippy about today’s lather? Not really. But that’s not to say this wasn’t a very nice shave, and the lemon and laurel combo sent me back to Positano.
