What soap/cream did you use today?

Sandalwood (D.R. Harris) spiced sandal

You take your brush, swirl it on your soap, and build a fine creamy lather. It seems logical that in order to make that lather, you really have removed some soap from the puck. And it’s not unreasonable to assume that the puck will weigh less because of the soap you’ve removed. But for a few of my soaps, that’s not the case. In fact, with some of my hardest soaps, the more I use them, the heavier they become. Am I adding water to the puck from my brush? Of course. But when I give the soap several weeks, or even months, to dry out, you’d think the puck would eventually get lighter. But in fact they stay the same, or sometimes they grow even heavier than before. Curious. I wonder if it's time to invest in a proper triple-beam balance scale?

Hopefully it's not mold growth...an unfortunate discovery I made this past weekend..

I hope it's not one of ours. If so, we need to know.

PannaCrema - Nuávia Blu

I'll say it again. Great to have offloaded lots of soaps recently so favorites like this end up in my line of sight and mind.



Sasquatch was an early morning visitor, leaving a trace. What a nose. He left tracks straight up my street and up my driveway directly to the spot where my grill was last night, right at it without error, just to get a tiny lick of grease off the ground. Sad an animal can be so hungry... And how many calories he burned to find so few.

'...the children of the night. What music they make!'

Nope, not one of yours
