Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 2,235

Sample: You & I (Will Die) (Mammoth) Floïd blue
Shave 4 ・ 6 g left

Mammoth offers a cooling solution for use with their products. It’s called Permafrost. A couple squirts puts a nice chill on your lather. It’s still warm down here: 80s in the day and 80% humidity to boot. A bit of chill is very welcome.

It's a fun scent after trying the sample I HAD to buy. Smells exactly like what it says it does. A dry sweet cedar and slight metallic just like sharpening a pencil in the old crank sharpeners  It is a vegan base but is still KILLER lather. "Veggiebus"

Dave, how does she compare to the "Tallowbus"?

I've not done a side by side comparison and probably won't. Surprisingly it is close enough that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I didn't know better. In fact I looked for videos to see others thoughts on it and the couple I saw listed it as Omnibus so they noticed no difference. It's just as good for me. Will Barrister_N_Mann wanted to show he could do a vegan just as good as his Tallow and personally I think he nailed it.

Good enough for me, thank you Dave!

I don't want to jinx it, but this one has really impressed me the last few times.

Neroli, i have about 10 pux with backups. And this is one of them. I think i have 3 stacked on the bench. Scent is a VERY good homage to SMN Tobacco Tuscano. Good lather, and I really like the glass jars. Their AFS is really, really nice. Been through 2 bottles, on number 3 with solid bench replacements ready for call up.

Good choice.... I need to shave with it next week.

I agree with what you say and I admire your commitment!

Today I used a puck of Smoking Bishop which is a great soap but a tad to sweet for me. The problem is a little tingle on the skin. Something in that soap does things to me so this’ll be the last shave with Smoking Bishop. I don’t have time for less than awesome.
