Today I've used a very aged avocado oil soap from my early days. Somehow it found its way out of the depth of my tiered baskets in the test department (bathroom). First I wasn't sure what it actually was. Just liked the shape and the big bubbles. No shaving soap for sure. Scent had faded but once I had lathered some off, the texture came out and then I knew what it was. Must be about five years old. I love aged soaps. Weleda rosemary shampoo for the hair. Great stuff for sure but not for every day. Guess it would dry out too much. Fragonard's Eau d'Hongrie afterwards. Actually its a men's EDT but its so nice!
Olivia, Great to have another Lady in the SoS posting, I am sure JoAnna will be thrilled! BTW Fragonard's Eau d'Hongrie, well if the Ladies love it I must pick some up.

Mottern Man, TomH has it, too and likes it quite well. Hooked him up cause Fragonard is my favourite suppplier for years. You can't go wrong with any of their perfumes.

They allow me to experiment (with minimal risk of cuts/nicks) with the settings on my Fatboy... MUCH more so than the Feathers do. I started at "3" on the Fatboy, and ended up at "7" for the final pass and T&C. The Pinaud Bay Rum burns like a mo fo, and then it's all like . Rockin like Dokken baby. Amazing what a great shave can make you feel like.
