What soap/cream did you use today?

GD Lavender

Like Nero i just used my new Ethos King of the North. I’ll second everything he said! Perfectly balanced, very natural scent in that fantastic F base. And sold for a good charitable cause as well. Makes you feel great inside and out.

Thank you my friend and I’m glad you enjoyed the product and supported the cause!

Gotta give Will credit, DIAMOND has all the scents of baseball: grass, dirt, leather and wood - swear get a hint of pine tar too.  Only critique is it a bit subtle in comparison to real deal; suspect it would have more of a following if strength amped by a multiple or two

B&M - Diamond (Soft Heart Series) 

As much as I loathe what is happening to MLB I still love the scent of the ballpark.

And I bought today's razor, the Karve Overlander, because I liked the handle. A cross between a light saber and a wizard's wand, it looks like the sort of gear you'd pack for an adventure. But I may have to ask for lessons on how to use it. In spite of its weight, the Overlander strikes me as exceedingly mild. One pass barely scrapes off the lather. In fact, even after two passes, there's still lots of bristle left. How are you getting your best results with this razor?

      

Bouki, I've been wet-shaving for 6 years but only over the past 1-2 years have I made the realization that I am mild-mannered razor type of shaver that prefers a 3-pass with clean-up shave.  The Overlander has become one of my absolute favorites and it is because it allows me to do my preferred routine and do so very smoothly with no irritation.  Does it work well on the days when i have to hurry through my shave and only do 1 or 2 passes...no, it doesn't.  It does well enough to give me a decent shave but it's not BBS by a long shot. 

But I did take your question into consideration during this afternoon's shave.  What I noticed is that on the WTG pass, I kept the angle nearly in the middle of the top cap and baseplate.  During the XTG and ATG passes, I did note that I was riding the top cap.  Feeling the cheeks/neck after the 2nd pass, I never would've thought I could achieve a bbs shave with one more pass.  But after 3-passes and touch-up on the neck and sides of the lips, it is one of those amazing BBS shaves.  You know, the kind that is difficult to not constantly rub your chin in admiration....I just try to make it look like i'm in deep thought contemplating what my book so the wife doesn't think I've completely lost it

Wow...just, wow

Both my tubs have been strong and I love em but to me the scent is the baseball Diamond from the bleachers and not from the field.  Would have liked it from the field.  Perhaps his next could be Dugout!
