What soap/cream did you use today?

F Scraper, Thx. I tried for almost 8 years to get one of these strawberry Amber handles from Paladin. Evidently the rod stock is very fickle to work with and hard to find, and have in inventory. I need to shave with her more. The rarely have the material stay intact for knots lather than 26mm. I have only seen a couple in 28mm. The virgin pink unicorn may not exist.

You can hide it here in Maryland. She'll never find it. 

Congrats, Tommy! I was checking out their site last evening and saw that one. It's a stunner.

Bon Monsieur (Zingari Man) classic fougère
Shave 1 ・ 143 g left

If the sad state the modern fougère has you down, and everything of late seems to smell as weak as water, you may want to dip your brush into Zingari Man’s two recent collaborations with Rogue Perfumery. Mousse Illuminée is a gorgeous, full-bodied ode to Polo Green, while Bon Monsieur is a stout recreation of those chest-thumping aromatic fougères of forty years ago. Notes include lavender, bergamot, fir balsam, geranium, oakmoss, carnation, lily of the valley, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk. It’s green and glorious, and it’s not afraid of the moss. Let’s hope this collaborative trend continues. Rogue offers a few more fragrances (Fougère L’Aube, Targhee Forest, L’Homme M. La Croix) that I’d be very happy to smell in Zingari Man’s excellent base.

Saw this on somebody else's shave of the today and I took a chance and grabbed the last set available of this seasonal.

Scent notes: Orange, blackberry, carnation, rose, pine, cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, eucalyptus.

It is an excellent vegetable base and face lathered very easily. The shave was excellent and the residual slickness is good. It is also veteran owned and operated.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil), Castor Oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil), Distilled Water (Aqua), Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Oil), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit Butter), Kaolin Clay, Fragrance (Parfum).

I believe this to be a Vegan soap (CORRECTION , TALLOW). I may have pushed the water band on it since I was bowl lathering which isn't my normal method but do it for samples. Still got a great lather for an enjoyable shave. I'm not a Bay Rum connoisseur but this is a nice scent and opens up even more on lathering and applying to the face. The Brush feels great in my large hands and is gorgeous to look at. Beautiful workmanship by Gile at TSR. This was a group buy i entered as I was exiting there due to time constraints and miss the great guys there to interact with. Wish them all the best and hope Everyone has a great day !!

All good things must come to an end.
