It’s the Mammoth Monday closest to the Lunar New Year, so this seemed like an excellent themed shave today. This is one of my top tier scents, one that I think everyone should give a whirl.

This is my standard traveling setup right now. Been working quite good. I like the pleasant scent of the Maribor.

I decided to buy Bonaparte on a lark, because /u/StirlingSoap mentioned on Facebook that it is strong and divisive.

Strong, sure. And perhaps divisive, but frankly I think the scent is really nice.

Uitwaaien is an absolute pleasure. I will probably do a posted review of this sometime soon.

It was that or Noir, and I felt I needed to stay on brand.

Christmas Eve calls for Christmas Eve. I’ve mentioned before how this scent reminds me of Christmas Eves at my grandparents’ house as a kid. The scent just really does it for me, everything about it is wonderful. Great last shave before Christmas.

Interesting. Can you tell me more? I admit my water feels a bit…slick, for lack of a better word.

First shave since the new water softener was installed yesterday. The plumber said that it could take a few days for all the hard water to get out of the hot water tank, but already there is a night and day difference. The lather was so much easier to form and felt softer and slicker. I’m excited to see the difference as the hard water works its way out of the system, and suggest everyone try a soft water shave.

Been rocking this setup for awhile now it’s so good. I’ve got to work in some of my other Christmas Soaps while it’s still seasonally appropriate.
