Boom!
You're the first one I've seen today that has the actual soap. Very well played. 🫡
Yeah I’ve used them to good effect on winter hikes in the mountains.
Dang, so close to glory.

Superlative results from the MMOC. Three passes, no irritation. I love this little razor.
Black Ice into Lavanille works very well, I'll have to remember this combo.
Praise Friday y'all!
idk what years you're counting, but I appreciate you opening the instance for us all this morning. :)
Happy New Year!

A great shave for today's meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. Today we're shaving with Stirling's Oro Valley, which is a recent addition to my collection that's quickly become a favorite.
There is definitely a strong leather note, but I also get a touch of citrus and smoke. Not a thick, overpowering smoke. Think the smell the morning after a juniper brushfire. Mild, but quite lovely.
Drama free lather with the Omega, this thing always delivers with Stirling's base.
Have a great day y'all!

- Lather: House of Mammoth - Voices
- Post: Mennen - Skin Bracer Aftershave splash
- Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
- Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT
On theme this morning with a mango sticky rice lather. I think this is my first time using the HoM base, and it gave me a stellar lather.
I'm not the biggest fan of sweet scents, but this wasn't cloying at all. I doubt I'd buy a full tub, but it's nice to have a sample kicking around.
Almost to the weekend y'all!
It's definitely a pretty one!

I had a very rushed shave in between meetings this morning.
Pine Tar always feels great on my skin, which was welcome after the irritation I experienced last night.
Have a good day y'all, and try to stay positive. Elections always cause so much anxiety, but the world will go on.
I have two I'll throw out as possibilities:
- Barrister and Mann - Latha Taiga
- Chiseled Face - Pine Tar
Edit to add: I keep wanting to nominate more of my soaps. It's surprisingly hard to decide!
That soap sounds very interesting! Does it have algae and seaweed as ingredients?

On theme today with TSF Kittyhawk. Notes are salty sea air, dried coconut, eucalyptus, jasmine, clove, vetiver, driftwood. Lovely scent, and the lather was great.
Tomorrow is almost certainly an Airbud for me.
+2 points for soap with at least half the same scent notes
+1 point for cross-posting
+1 point for engaging yesterday
Total points (28 previous + 4): 32
