What soap/cream did you use today?

Saturday I attended a good friends wedding and Sunday was just warm.  Seemed Stirling Orange Chill was in order.  

Nice looking shave, but the question that's really got me thinking is how did all that pork turn out? Did you slice it, shred, mop it down with vinegar, give it a spicy rub, and go easy with the tomato sauce? And most important, what sort of woods did you have in that smoke tower?

Gentle Menthol Cream v. (Meißner Tremonia) herby eucalyptus

Same shave as yesterday but with one minor alteration. I changed the razor’s handle. The Henson’s handle is too long for such a light head. I feel like I’m shaving with a magic wand. So I traded its 95mm handle for a 78mm fat handle taken from an old Tech. Both handles are the same weight, but the shorter Tech handle makes the razor feel more nimble. There were still some sticky spots, but overall the shave felt more comfortable. Tomorrow I’ll try another blade to see if I can’t ramp up the glide.

And this Gentle Menthol Cream just gets better with each day. The fragrance grows richer, the lather gets slicker, and the finish is just a little bit finer than yesterday’s.

Ha!  I’ve been smoking stuff since I was a kid and have always loved great BBQ.  I also spend a lot of time on the road in far flung parts of the country sampling the regional fare and my favorite pork is the Carolinas vinegar mopped wonder.  They do it better than anyone.  So that’s how I do it too. An old NC pit master taught me how to make his killer sauce so I had that going for me too.  It’s always fun to hear folks talking about how good their plate is and even more fun when they don’t know it was you who cooked it.  This batch was all pulled pork. Oh, and I alway like apple wood with pork.
