What soap/cream did you use today?

Fougère Friday
Trumper's Eucris

Classic - have had this a decade. I do have to uber lather with their cream which is quite good. The hard puck is a foam maker. Residual slickness is fair to poor, but I don't care cause she smells so good. This is worthy of a shred-blend with some Sir Henry's unscented to make it a lather worthy of the times.

I have the EDT... but there's an EDP out there. Hmmmmmm

C U all tomorrow

RazoRock "Tobacco #1" (discontinued, but I think "Puros" has the same or similar ingredients)

What a lovely lather it made. After the shave it almost seemed a shame to pour the remains down the drain.

[edit- Not all the same ingredients, but they both use coconut oil.]

Soap: Areffa Steel Credo

AS 2: Ethos Blood Orange SFS
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,559

This soap base with the bear tallow was why I placed another order and this is a nice bright scent. It's light but there to enjoy. It came with a slight animalistic note I've heard about with other artisans in the past and so left it sit lid off for a couple nights which cleared it out and left the pleasant scent it is fter the base scent wifted off. Nice easy lather that had everything needed to have a great shave. I especially like how cleanly it seems to rinse off when done.

1st run with the La Faux with a Schick Proline installed. Loading the blade was easy and no issues with it accepting a proline blade as some AC SE's do. I don't think the issue lies with the blades manufacturing stamps changing as some have eluded to and glad to see an SE razor that accepts these as many have it as a preferred blade. Drop onto the pins of the top cap and set the baseplate down onto it and thread the handle on. The titanium has a nice weight to it and comfortable on the skin. I found the shave to be mild feeling but got the job done. Looking forward to some more shaves with this new to the market razor now available made to order in a number of metals. Have a great day everyone !

Tortola SFS and Bay Rum SFS are like fraternal twins.  They're alike and then they're not alike.  When I close my eyes and smell the palms of my hands, Tortola congers up images of the spicy scents from my grandmother's kitchen when she's baking pastries for the Thanksgiving/Christmas season.  I also really like the the look of the frosted glass bottles.  They seem perfect to showcase this darker juice.
