What soap/cream did you use today?

Krokos is on its own today.  Five days ago my first impression was that Krokos left me with very good post shave skin feel.  Now I'm looking to see if I still think that way.  The first 15 or so minutes my skin felt a bit dry, but now that feeling has been replaced with supple and smooth skin.  We'll see how the day progresses.  I will say one thing, the scent is awesome.

Artemis shaving cream (Swiss)

Laureato (Abbate y La Mantia) lemon laurel
Shave 1 ・ 150 g left

I piffed my first tin of Laureato after a dozen shaves. I bought it back around the end of 2019. I believe it was made by Tcheon Fung Sing. I loved the scent, a fresh lemony laurel that took me back to Positano, but the lather lacked body and cushion. TommyCarioca and Dave in KY, I think you all arrived at the same conclusion. And zaclikestoshave, I agree, the TFS base is a bit thin and drying. Good to see that great minds think alike.

Today is the inaugural shave with my second tin of Laureato, and my, how things have changed. A few years back Abbate y La Mantia found a new soap cooker. Their new base is softer and creamier than the TFS base, but just as fragrant. It loads easily, and most important, it makes a much better lather. While not as thick and protective as a tallow-based soap, it’s slick enough and it gives good cushion for a safe shave. Now one thing to keep in mind, as AlphaFrank75 mentioned earlier today, Abbate y La Mantia soaps tend to finish dry at first, but as the hours pass the Shea butter kicks in and the result is fine supple skin. I think this tub of Laureato is going to be a keeper.

My favorite shave soap scent, numero uno, top 5 base, great packaging and post shave finish. I have been stock piling these babies. And the new base has this flavor available, with an AFS. YES, a great, great fougère.

Paired with Profumum's Vetta EDP. A green bitter Galbanum bomb, kinda like the soap. May have to lather this weekly.

C U all tomorrow

A week on the road with a tub of WSP Green Irish Tweed dupe.  The Formula T is good but it was good getting home for a few days so this morning I busted out a puck of Trumpers Violet soap.  Yeah, I know.  Sounds pretty grandma but I swear it’s not.  It’s floral for sure but I dig it.  This is an old formula that lathers and lasts and offers protection and slickness and really creamy lather that the new formula can’t match.
