What soap/cream did you use today?

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet shaving cream

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?

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.

Now, now...this is a nice family-oriented shaving forum  

Although, I would love to give that sauce recipe a try!

Great scent and a great performer!  Since I had the time and a great lather going, I decided to use the straight razor for the 1st time in about a year.  Did a WTG and was blown away with the slickness and smoothness of pass.  Didn't want to push my luck so I switched to DE for the XTG and ATG passes

Ah! There it is! Shannon makes some excellent soap, and it sure looks like you brought the best out of it.

Lip, we're kindred souls. When it comes to Q, there's nothing better than what comes out of the pits down east in Carolina. (In fact, I won't even touch pork BBQ west of Siler City, NC.) Now when it comes to beef brisket, there's some remarkable stuff coming out of Texas, and I really enjoy Kansas City ribs. But for pork shoulder and butt, nothing beats Carolina barbeque! I'm sure your guests were thrilled and went home happy.

C&E Sweet Almond Oil soap

I went on two bike rides today, which means I passed a lot of wild flower bushes and of course, that reminds me of this soap. A country floral breeze.
