What soap/cream did you use today?

Vintage Yardley

There are better weight loss programs than losing chunks of your spine man!  It’s stuff like this that show how grateful we are you can still use your hands.  That was a close one….like a shave with a Futur on 4.  When you get over rehab, stick to the green circles, avoid the black diamonds, and don’t hook your down hill edge!  Wow man!  You sure have a lot of good disc space between vertebrae though.  That’s a good thing. But to flake a notch of bone out was a thump for sure.  But really, what’s the point of skiing though if you don’t point em downhill and let em run?  Rag-dolling is just part of the gig. (And it had to happen right during this most excellent period of deep powder). 50 inches since the 30th at Grand Targhee.

Seriously unbelievable timing. We've been getting like 10 inches per day for nearly 2 weeks straight it feels like. I've been telling everyone that they can thank me for the snow. Like washing the car, then it rains on the way home.

Yes lip, with you on the Trumpers. I stared at that xray for 10 minutes. Crushed or compressed? Nero, update you lather brothers, por favor.... How are you feeling? Pain bad? I would suggest Four Roses and a box of Padrons! Get better man

Is crushed a real diagnosis, haha? They have been saying compression fracture... clearly with some fragments nearby in the x-ray.
Ribs are still the worst in terms of pain, though not broken as far as we know.
Need to wear a back/torso brace for 3 months and do PT. No surgery, thankfully. Ski season over. Getting up from laying or sitting is still very painful and difficult and that's the extent of my workouts for the time being. (Don't tell the doc or mom I shoveled the deck earlier.)

Good to hear no surgery Nero

I’m a fan of Shannon’s and Indigo Oud is a great one.  Low structure lather that is easy to get to Hoosiers status for creamy shininess.  Slick and protective.  Scent strength is on the very high end of medium.  Top end is citrus and black currant and those notes are brilliant and very present.  Other stated notes are leather, oud, sandalwood and some other things but the citrus/currant and leather/oud are the notes I get and I find it a very enjoyable scent.  The soap is dark and whips into a tan lather that does not stain a brush.  Excellent soap with a very nice scent.

Good report. SAD engaged

The 100% natural aroma blend combines authentic Agarwood Oil and Oud Resin with essential oils of East Indian Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean Butter, Madagascar Vanilla Bean Infusion Oil, and White Rose Absolute.

How often does one encounter real oud and authentic sandalwood in a shaving soap?  Thanks for the inspiration Dave in KY and Dragonsbeard.

For the past couple years Shannon's has been my Jan 1 soap of choice.  But something was just calling for Laugar Skogsra today.  Paired up perfectly with Stirling Gin & Tonic AS.
