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?

And suddenly I’m off of shaving and onto eating!

88 Chestnut St (Declaration Grooming) neroli explosion
Shave 6 ・ 100 g left

In seventeen-century Italy, Princess Anne Marie Orsini of Nerola was known for her love of perfumes, which she dabbed on her gloves, fans, and clothing. Her favorite scent was the sweet-floral-citrus aroma of the essential oil of the blossom of the bitter orange tree. She loved it so much the oil was named after her, and we know it today as neroli.

Although there are lots of other fruity bits in 88 Chestnut St, its heart and soul is neroli. If Princess Anne Marie were looking for a sweet soap today, I know what she would reach for.

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.  

Now that's a brave and frank review! Thanks, Lip. If this soap's finish was rough on your leathery skin, it will be murder on my tender hide. I'm sorry the shave didn't work out, but I'm grateful for how your honest comments will keep my soap budget in the black.

Agreed gentlemen. A wonderful bright soap.... a good match with TF NP, after a bath in 4711
