What soap/cream did you use today?

Grooming Dept - Cedarwood (Nai)

Can't believe I've let 11 months (to the day) go by since using this. Best cedar scent I've smelled and the Nai formula is superb. Would love to see it released again.

Yep. I have back ups of this one. And, thanks to you, Confluence right there with it.

Solid Shaving Soap (Cyril R. Salter) lavender & rosemary
Shave 1 ・ 75 g left

This is a fine soap. There’s nothing wrong with it. It lathered well and gave me a good shave. Smelled pretty good, too, in a mild, clean, unobtrusive fashion. My only grouse is that it’s just not remarkable in any way … well, in any good way. What I mean is, the only thing that’s unusual about it is the size. This is a teeny tiny puck, measuring about 2¾ inches at its widest. And it doesn’t come in a tub. You have to supply your own. I shuffled through all my empties, but I couldn’t find anything small enough to accommodate it. So I went up to the kitchen and nipped a little dipping bowl we picked up at Jugtown Pottery, Moore County, North Carolina, twenty years ago. Soap slipped right in, but I have to use the diminutive Simpsons Trafalgar T1 to get at it. Anything larger swallows up the puck whole.

Another tactic would be to grate the puck and pack in into a larger tub. It would make it so much easier to load, and not dictate the size of brush. I've read on the forums where lots of guys do this with smaller tubs of soap (or ones that don't arrive in a tub, like yours), for this exact reason.

Thanks Sasco. I need a 61 or less. It is too much for a daily.
I don't know how these guys roll with gaps bigger than. 70. I must be a sissy.

I’m exactly the same - mine is .61 and it’s all I can handle as a daily shaver.  Makes me wonder how a .48 with .02mm exposure would be ….

Cheers!

Right!?  As I age, I like the mild razors more&More Sasco! Daube we can get a group discount on a the mild razors

I’m in if you start that discussion Tommy.  As time goes on, I find less is often more - less gap, less exposure, and even less weight.  And BTW, I am not talking about specifically Wolfman.

Fo sho, Tommy!
So happy I got the chance to try both of them while they were around. Happy to pass along the Confluence find and you're loving it too. These are both true woods scents.

... and if I may add: the Cedarwood label is very well executed.

I didn’t find time for a shave yesterday so I was pretty due for a whisker whacking this morning and wanted something really nice.  Sir Henrys Sandalwood to the rescue!

Was the summit open, or is it still snowed in?  Looks Looks like there’s plenty of water on the trail.

Brilliant advice! Thanks, FaceScraper.
