What soap/cream did you use today?

CBL Bergamot Lemon

She’s getting low.  Perhaps two, maybe three shaves left.  Did I notice a scent tail-off today?  I don’t know.  Perhaps.  There really isn’t much soap left in the tub and squishing it around so the brush can pick it up certainly has had to monkey with the soap scent I’d believe.  Anyway, I also noticed a downgrade of slickness.  I’ll write that off to not picking up enough soap thus a longer loading is needed?  Or perhaps a soap needs to be done when these things happen regardless of whether the tub is empty or not.  I know it’s hard to shower with a sliver of soap which I usually stick to a new bar or chuck.  It’s so uncommon to get to the bottom of a tub that I have little experience......  Whew, this shaving stuff is tough!  

Great weekend with my girl.  Usually we have a lot of Grands with us so she never has spent time in a hammock.  This time the family trailed I. The next day so I convinced her to climb aboard and the result was a five hour nap.  She spent the rest of the weekend in a hammock with grandkids piled on top of her.  Big fan right there!e

Verbena Cream v. (Esbjerg) rosemary, sage, verbena

Well, this is intoxicating. It’s the smell of an herb garden in early summer – tart lemon verbena, a sprig of rosemary, and a pinch of sage. It’s very nice and it’s quite strong. I wish I had tried Esbjerg sooner. I had to wait extra long to enjoy it since my parcel was held up in customs. I can’t fault them for ripping it open. I’m sure they were eager to find out what smelled so good. I didn’t see any divots in the cream, so I guess no one sampled it. Pity. They would have had an excellent shave. Rich, protective, and slick, this lather is splendid stuff.

So did you get some Orange Vetiver too?  And just like Dom, I enjoy your reports too.

Camping in the great outdoors, a hammock, a cozy blanket, grandbabies, and a clean-shaven man...I do believe Mrs. Lipripper had an amazing weekend!

BTW,  I have the same issue with the "nearing-the-end" tubs.  The performance and slickness just doesn't seem to be the same.
