What soap/cream did you use today?

Black Tie Razor Company
Sandalwood

OK, so I almost NEVER EVER use the same puck 2 days in a row. But the shave was so MAHVELUS that I broke my regimen. Dang this is a great base. So easy to get a slick, shiny emulsion. Okra snot baby. But smells way bettah.

Bluegrass, you KY enabler. My weakness for SH and rose - you broke me. I am going in on that giant jar of Kentucky Rain.

I have the same reaction to a few of my AFSs [Proraso Sdwd and Ginger's Garden are examples]. Frank educated me... That face feel is due to a predominance of glycerin. To alleviate, -I do exactly as you describe. I dip my hands in the basin, drop some Ethos Serum+Revitalizer on my mitts, and pour a hefty amount of afs in the mix and go wallorin' around in it. Works well. I found Jojoba+Ethos+water with my AFS makes the face feel very similar to the Saponificio Varesino AFSs.... Which I love BTW.

FRIKIN BLUEGRASS. You and Neroli cost me.

You can Thank me later It was Proraso Sandalwood that I read the fix for so you weren't alone. You're gonna LOVE Kentucky Rain and can't believe you were holding out from buying it. Tisk tisk

Tobacco (Eufros) tobaccola

At first there's the warm and sweet aroma of cardamom, a characteristic feature of nearly all JabonMan's scents. I quite enjoy it. However, when I think of tobacco, that's not the first thing that comes to mind. But now after three shaves, I'm beginning to notice a delightful blend of leathery tobacco with a hint of mint. It's an unexpected combination, but it's not unpleasant at all.

Sasco, been curious about the scent profile on that. A good summer puck?
