Let me know if you'd like a smush of Pine Tar, I'd be happy to send one along.
Ah, yes I see it now. Thanks. It wasn't showing up in my mobile client.
Oh, Marilyn sounds like an amazing scent!

One of these days I'll order the trifecta when space allows.
Is this the Fatip Testina Gentile razor?
It's nice that it's made out of plated brass. What do you like about this one in particular?

I'm flirting with the idea of BBS November. At the very least, a second shave was super relaxing tonight.
Vanilla Sandalwood and a can of Sierra Nevada Celebration was a sublimely relaxing end to the week.
Have a great weekend y'all.

First shave with Rhapsody since I received it in a trade earlier this week. Really lovely scent that I'm going to enjoy spending more time with. This was a wonderfully smooth, slick lather.
Have a great one y'all. ✌️
Man, I think I’d have trouble finding the time to consistently get two shaves in every day for a month!
I’ve been very curious about this soap for a while but haven’t pulled the trigger.
Is it primarily wood smoke, or do you get other notes as well?
In my opinion if you use a properly hydrated lather, it shouldn’t prevent you from seeing what’s going on.
I’d focus on getting as much water as possible into your lather. Then use as mild of a DE razor as you own.
I’ve personally never had trouble using a DE “down there.” I typically use a Merkur 34C for this and have had great results.
Granted, I don’t have lady bits down there so I can’t speak to those specific difficulties. I have to assume though that you’d get good results with a properly hydrated lather, a mild razor, and a good deal of care.

Winding down for the evening with an easy, close shave. SW delivered a great lather and fragrance, as always!
