What soap/cream did you use today?

Ethos - Sakura stick

After the skiing and it's requisite driving today, I came home, turned on the TV, and passed out deeply for two-plus hours. I knew I am out of shape, but man...

Awoke, hit the shower, and it felt so good to be in there that I think I shaved just to extend it. The stick formula is good stuff, pretty flawless result and nice post feel. It doesn't have the cushion of the other products, so definitely feel the blade, in full disclosure... but noticably very slick and effective/capable (no nicks/irritation).



The resorts in my mountain range haven't opened yet, so had to drive to the closest with the lifts swinging... Vail, about 82 miles from my door (40 miles as the crow flies). Not much open nor the best snow ever, but felt great to be on the slopes again.

Love Vail and adjacent Summit County. So much variety so close together. Family had condo there.

Castle Forbes Lavender

This was a luxurious and delightful shave.  The lather is more than adequately slick and protective, and even my nose can sense that the scent is the real deal, and it is not faint either.  Where the cream falls short of the better modern soaps is in the post, but a splash of ETHOS skin food took care of that really well.

Blue shave today: blue razor, blue brush, blue label on the soap, and as I looked out my porthole, blue skies and blue seas for ever.

Absolutely beautiful!  Do you and the Mrs scuba dive?

Naw, HoosierShave, we're not divers, but we do walk up and down the strand here each morning. Mrs Bouki collects shells while I count turtles and sun rays. TommyCarioca, this is an old picture. Last year a big storm came through and wiped out all the coconut palms and ironwood along the beach, so there's not much left right now to hang my mirror from. Time to plant a few more trees and hope the beach doesn't erode any more.
