What soap/cream did you use today?

Friday February 3, 2023
Razor: Timeless .95 OC
Blade: Euromax
Brush: Semogue/Boar
Soap: A&E NYC (1508.5 Project)
AS 1: Witch Hazel
AS 2: A&E NYC Splash
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,551

Starting to think I'd prefer giving away some soap again or using in the shower to go thru it quicker rather than this method..........

Why does that look like tapioca?

Beings you're a soapmaker, why ask questions you should know the answer to ?  Heated, stirred fats together and looks normal again....lather quality is never affected when the separation happens. Just appearance.

Good stuff!

We've never experienced that.

Differing soap ingrediants and recipes I guess some with higher fat contents. I've had it happen with other brands years ago and the maker told me it was separation of some fats or whatever and what to do

A friend gifted me this Zingari The Duo set.  He liked it a lot!  I’ve never had reason to try a zingari man product and for those of you who enjoy it you may wish to change the channel.  The scent touted bourbon and oak (and sandalwood and tonka) and I was expecting a bit more rawness in aroma but it is not.  Sweet and creamy with just a hint of bourbon.  It’s a med strong scent that is ok.  Lather was not easy in my hard water.  It wasn’t bad to lather but it is tougher for me that mystic waters if that means anything to anyone.  It seemed slick enough and the lather turned out fine, and it gave me an acceptable shave but the whole time I was thinking “well, this is sort of disappointing”.  Post shave?  Positively Saharan!  I haven’t been this tight since modern Williams, in fact Williams doesn’t leave me this parched.  Usually if I’m tight skinned post shave I can wait 15 minutes and things will even out.  This one had me hunting the aftershave instantly, even before my skin was dry.  The aftershave was sweeter yet than the soap and gives me a bit of a feminine vibe.  How can a label with a glass of bourbon on it seem feminine?  My grade for the day?  This is a middle grade of C from me maybe leaning on C-.  Ain’t nobody got time for that!  I’m not doubting that zingari works well for you who like it but it sure isn’t for me.  

Yuzu Rose Patchouli (Declaration Grooming) dirty citrus rose
Shave 4 ・ 103 g left

I’m celebrating ThuRoseday with one of the best. Yuzu Rose Patchouli is fruity, floral, and full of dirt; truly something interesting for everyone. The first note, yuzu, is a citrus fruit native to East Asia. It has a bright yellow skin, like a lemon, but it’s smaller and rounder. It’s known for a complex flavor that’s tart, yet sweet, with notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Long used in traditional Japanese medicine, yuzu treated colds, flu, and other ailments, and was believed to relieve stress. Yuzu is still a popular ingredient in Japanese skincare products, where it’s prized for high levels of antioxidants and vitamin C. Some claim it helps brighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve texture.
