Thanks guys. I had a great day. Just got home from eating ribs with my wife. Time to kick back and enjoy the rest of the day.
Sunday's Dove Men Face Wash TABAC Jayaruh #109 silvertip badger Gillette NEW SC 7 am Plus Hi Platinum CWR, Asma Alum Block T.N. Dickinson's WH Aqua Velva Musk The TABAC Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #109 silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW SC razor with a 7 am Plus Hi Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Guys, please forgive me for changing my shaving plans again! Sunday morning: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Junjie/Astra day 7 Proraso Green S/S Lucky Tiger A/S Cream Proraso Green A/S Splash I guess my Barbon cream can wait until Tuesday because I need a stronger menthol hit than I had from the Proraso White soap. That one felt nice and cool but the Green is still cooler, and the Lucky Tiger a/s cream and the Proraso Green splash are really chilly together!

Van Yulay - Soap of the Gods "Black Cavendish" BSB-Ti | HMW Extra Dense RazoRock Black Mamba | Feather Hi-Stainless (1) Again, I won't bore you by restating my thoughts about Van Yulay's soaps. I have lots of experience with a variety of their soaps, and I can confidently say they all perform in line with my other favorite artisans and can stand up to any of them. I picked up "Black Cavendish" with trepidation. I absolutely love a cherry tobacco fragrance. In fact, one of my all-time favorite scents, "Captain's Pipe" by the artisan formerly known as "Beaver WoodWright", has to be placed on the back shelf due to the nausea it evokes upon my wife. I have to reserve my use of said Captain's Pipe to hunting season during which she's gone for a few days at a time. Captain's Pipe quite accurately reproduces the aromatic tobacco, Captain Black Cherry. When I saw the scent notes for "Black Cavendish" on Van Yulay's site, I feared it would elicit the same response from my wife. Fortunately, Black Cavendish varies enough such that she's fine with it. I very much enjoy it. There's a definite cherry tobacco fragrance up front, but there's enough woodiness to alter it quite a bit, and set itself apart as a different fragrance. As the shave progresses, a slightly powdery, smoky, chocolate accord quite faintly moves in to really round out this delicious fragrance. I used the paired alcohol-free splash, just to prolong the scent. I've said this before, but all of Van Yulay's splashes have a creamy scent initially that I assume is from the skin-care ingredients. That creaminess is pleasant, but it does fade rather quickly and allows the matching scent to come through accurately. As a nice surprise, I did notice some sweet vanilla notes in the splash that I hadn't picked up with the lather. Black Cavendish is a very nice release from Van Yulay that certainly fits in the family of cherry tobacco fragrances, but its depth and complexity keeps it from being a blatant reproduction.
Remember Lemony Orange? That wonderful, citrusy, best of both lemon and orange worlds that was discontinued a while back? Well what could be better than Glacial Lemon and Orange Chill mixed together? Write to Rod and let him know how awesome a run of this would be next year!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
