What soap/cream did you use today?

With the mail today I received a very generous sample of Sir Henry's Kentucky rain from Dave Dave in KY . Thank you so much Dave!

There is no question the quality of Sir Henry's soaps. I've had a few in the past. They all perform wonderfully. No difference here, it was a good shave with a quality product.

Unfortunately for me, the scent wasn't quite in my wheelhouse. Everyone smells something a bit different, to my nose this comes off as a spicy scent with very little sweetness. It has a heavy dose of something cologne-esque. Additionally, I think there's something like bourbon or whiskey in it? I'm not a liquor drinker (actually I quit drinking almost a year ago), so it's very much a wild guess.

Thanks again for sending me the sample Dave. I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to smell it and try it out. I'll definitely be passing it on to another member in the near future.

No worries Paul as that's what samples are for. Maybe someone else will find it a hit. Take care !

Face Shave

Razor: Gillette New Short Comb
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: DG Spooky B15
Soap: WK Entropy Man

I forgot that this razor demands a light touch. She reminded me a few times. Love this scent and the B15 is fantastic. Wholly Kaw has is an exceptionally good soap, I did not even realize this was their Vegan formula till I took this picture. 

Head Shave

Razor: WR2 1.55
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Sawdust Creations Boti NC
Soap: GD English Lavender

Finally in the Wolfman Club! Great relaxing head shave. The WR2 1.55 is crazy smooth and beyond efficient. English Lavender is just beautiful. I needed a really relaxing head shave today. Life has been a bit crazy and this setup hit the mark.

Mike's Natural Soaps - Bay Rum

I don't shave two days in a row very often, but I just had to come back for more. I always thought of bay rum as a summer scent, but I was WRONG. And today's shave was better than yesterday's. I can see myself coming back to this frequently. Plus, it gives me another opportunity to use the Derby City sauce.
