What soap/cream did you use today?

Ethos Colonia in F. Still my favorite Dragonsbeard scent. It never gets old..it’s always in my rotation…

Tabacco Blu (Abbate y La Mantia) frozen tobacco
Shave 2 ・ 100% left

A few months ago, I tried Abbate y La Mantia's Garibaldi, which pays tribute to Italian tobacco. If I hadn’t tried it, I wouldn’t have been able to detect the same scent in today’s Tabacco Blu soap. There's quite a bit of synthetic menthol in this puck, and it covers the tobacco pretty well. It takes an experienced nose to pick out the leafy notes. And there's this too: their interpretation of tobacco seems to have more in common with pastry than with the flue-cured brightleaf I’m most familiar with. To me this blue tobacco conjures up memories of Moravian spice cookies. The warm, spicy aroma is pleasant enough, but it's not the sort of smell I first associate with a stogie or a pipe. For all that, the lather is good for slapping around the face, and when combined with some D-menthol, it makes for a refreshing start to what is bound to be a warm day.

Crabtree and Evelyn - Sweet Almond Oil soap

Spring is in the air. I've had this little puck since 2014. I think I might try to kill it off. Problem is there's more winter weather in the forecast, which could kill the desire to use this, scent-wise.

Great shave allaround there

I just had to repeat!  

Been a while since we’ve seen a Bufflehead!

That may just be the most perfect kit for a most perfect shave.
