What soap/cream did you use today?

 
ETHOS ShaveMD hit the spot big-time for me today.  ShaveMD is, among other things, one of the tip-top most refreshing offerings among the contenders in my somewhat cluttered den.

Today's shave was also a delightful maiden voyage with a new to me Enders Speed Shaver.  For now, I'll skip the long story that preceded the happy ending, but suffice it to say first, that this is a beautiful marbled butterscotch example, which is not at all apparent in todays photo, and second, that along with the soap and brush, it delivered a smooth and totally bloodless BBS shave.  I was not expecting that, especially after having had to jump through a few hoops to get this particular Enders up and running.

Pre ..... Splash & Soak (comfortably hot water)
Brush ... Brad Sears 3 Band Super L7 (28mm)
Soap .... ETHOS ShaveMD (F Base)
Razor ... Butterscotch Enders Speed Shaver w Hendrix Classic Adapter (Mild) and Proline B-20
Post .... ETHOS ShaveMD SFS
Finish .. Bleu De Chanel EDP

AWESOME Mike, I miss my Butterscotch which are the rarest I think. What a completely gorgeous shave there all around !

Many thanks Dave in KY.

I’m a sucker for the odd scent and Caties Bubbles Irish Coffee really scratches that itch.  I don’t drink coffee but I love the scent of it.  I don’t drink whisky but distilling fascinates me.  Add coffee and the smokiness of whisky together and it’s a win.  But here’s the weirdness.  In the west we have a native rat called Bushy Tailed Wood Rat who creates a midden to live in.  They soak these homes in urine that has a musky, skunky scent.  I’ll be darned if this soap doesn’t build a note that is a ringer for the scent of this rat.  “Mister, you’re not doing a very good job of selling soap!” Yep, I get it. Not everyone wants to sniff rat urine but if you don’t know the scent you’d never recognize it.  It’s coffee and whisky and marvelous. But with so many wonderful memories tied to places where a pack rat built a midden this scent is just glorious to me.
