What soap/cream did you use today?

Monday, November 13, 2023 - Stirling Gentleman

Puristic Style (Meißner Tremonia) Muscs Koublai Khan
Shave 4 ・ 81 g left

This soap came unscented, so I dumped a vial of Serge Lutens' Muscs Koublai Khan over it and let it soak in for a couple of years. The perfume combines notes of musk, cumin, and amber, creating a warm and spicy aroma, just the thing for a blustery morning shave.

Wonder where you might find a replacement?  That’s one of the better things about sir Henry’s.  Nothing seasonal. Nothing out of stock. Run out? Order another.

Every time I see your photos. I think of the opening lyrics of Lighthouse, by James Taylor:

Off the coast of Africa
Bound for South America
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
And a man who's just like me
And I wish that I was there.

Thanks again Nero.

Ah…You brought a song to mind I’ve not thought of in years.  The Gorilla album is a good one and my daughter who is much to young to have remembered 1975 still sings it.  Lighthouse, with those tight harmonies of Crosby and Nash behind JT is choice.

I know this soap is polar but I sure do like it.  A lot!  Every time I use it I’m reminded of the chore of setting the tents in camp.  The smell of the stove pipes coated in creosote, then the first fire in the tent. So many memories flood my brain.  The smell of canvas that has seen ages of mountain time. The smell of clean wheat straw strewn thick and corralled by an aspen pole border.  The crisp scent of mountain air and the sharp notes of dying wyethia rolling through my brain.  These notes aren’t in Texas on Fire, just smoke and creosote but it sure brings the others to mind.

Never cared for Crosby; always had impression that he would be happy as a professional dog coprophagist if it paid more than a musician. Nash, on the other hand, gave the impression he would perform free of charge but luckily was sufficiently talented to become wealthy.

Yesterday afternoon's shave and this morning' shave...
