SOTD: March 2026

Thursday morning:

Long hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 11
Biolijf Spice SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

Thank God a million times that I feel better - at least well enough that I was able to enjoy the lovely scent of this Biolijf Spice soap from the Netherlands. I believe it’s a vegan based product with terrific lather, it’s surprisingly very slick, and it’s chock full of skincare. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, and do I ever LOVE the Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave - it’s one of my favourites. Another wonderful three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another incredible shave this morning! Returned to my Valobra era TAOS unscented shave soap. Phenomenally thick & slick lather built with the Simpson ST badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Aqua Velva "Musk" aftershave lotion. Popped a fresh Wizamet in the Karve this morning and it was so smooth that I had to check and make sure the blade was actually in there!

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Lovely shave, Akhi. I've eyed that Kent soap on Amazon. Does it smell like Mitchell's Wool Fat?

Thank you Akhi. To my nose, they are very similar. Both have a fresh scent that is quite light. The Kent puck I have is the latest release with the blue label. I know a lot of people in the shaving community are attached to MWF but for me, I think this is a fantastic soap and I’m totally fine with the updated formula.
