Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Shave Count (DE: 378 SE: 9 SR: 433)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Gillette Slim
Wizamet blade(2)
Vulfix Badger
Noble Otter Two Kings soap

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Noble Otter Twi Kings AS

The Process-
Late morning shave today ... come on, it’s Saturday. Decided to give the Two Kings the nod today, since I have the AS now. My usual 30 second load time whipped up a really nice lather. On this scent, I’m not sure what I can smell. I can’t identify any specific notes. To me, the scent is rather unusual. Had plenty of lather going with the Vulfix and the brush actually behaved.

I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. The Gillette and Wizamet combination made quick work of this shave and I am BBS for the win! The soap also has good slickness and residual slickness. Another very nice shave. Finished that up with a post shave lather, while I cleaned the shave gear.

Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a pat dry. Then a healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! The scent is the same as the soap with no strong alcohol smell. The post shave has a bit of a tacky, Witch Hazel feel to it. I’m curious to see how it feels in 30 minutes or so. I asked the missus what she thought and she said “It’s nice”. Allow me to translate. That means it’s ok, but don’t replace it. So there you have it. Life is good!

Home Front-
The missus was back in my @CBLSoap.com Patchouli again last night. She absolutely loves the soap base and scent. It actually dethroned her beloved Stirling Plumeria. A big thanks to @Spider also for getting that scent produced. The ribs are not looking good for today either, it may be tomorrow. What the crap. A task today is to repair/teplace an 8’ florescent shop light that fell out of the ceiling onto the missus new car last night. She was not amused.

How do you like the Agar Tim? How does it compare to other Oud soaps?

The soap has a nice, mellow woody scent. When first applying the AS, it seems more cedar forward to me (which I hate). The missus didn’t smell the Cedar. That scent does pass and the dry down smells like the soap. I don’t think I’ve used any other Oud’s yet to compare it to. That’s why I like samples. I have blind bought a few losers before.
