What soap/cream did you use today?

XPEC Unscented shaving cream (vintage Forester Milan version) with a few drops of Rose Essence Oil/Hydrosol & Ethos Grooming Mélange d'Agrumes

This last bit of soap is really hanging on.  This morning I really went after the little bit left but even after loading for a good 30 seconds, there is some left.  The pic below shows the soap prior to loading for today's shave.  Hopefully tomorrow's shave will finish it off.  Thanks to Nero and Dragonsbeard I have several new soaps that I'm really looking forward to trying!

Darkfall t. (Declaration Grooming) smoky oud

Darkfall starts off smelling like leaves burning in your backyard – smoky and acrid and a little earthy. Mash it around your face and you begin to notice warm spicy notes too. They’re faint, so it’s hard to pick out exactly what they are: black pepper? cinnamon? nutmeg? cardamom? More a smell of warmth than of any particular spice. And then the woody bits come out. They’re hard to place, too. Imagine you’re walking through a damp forest. You bump into an old stump and give it a kick. It falls apart under your boot and at the same time gives off a clean kind of rotting smell. That must be the oud. Good smelling? Yeah, altogether these notes smell like the last days of autumn. But don’t save this soap just for that season. Darkfall is a real pleasure throughout all the year.

HaHa!  Thankfully, he still had some AOS Sandalwood.  I'm finally going to experience the delightfulness you've been writing about for the past few years!

It wasn't long ago that I couldn't even eat chicken that I cooked...just grossed me out.

But when you get the right equipment and figure out the right process, it becomes a weekly necessity.



The bones just pull straight out of the meat and joint.
