Continuing on with our Alphabet Shave Theme, today's shave is with the letter "D." I wanted to do something a little different and decided to settle on my Cafe Orleans set by Big Easy Soaps and Tinctures. Yeah I know...there is no "D" in that soap and aftershave. The Cafe Orleans soap and aftershaves has notes of coffee, hazelnut, and chocolate. This scent combination reminds me of sitting at my local coffee shop here in Southern Louisiana and drinking a cafe au lait and munching on some beignets. Oh, so delicious! Beignets are types of doughnuts. Therefore, D is for Doughnuts!

The shave itself was a little rushed as you can see from the video...yes...there is another video. But overall for a two passer...it was pretty good. This isn't the best soap in the world, but it is a solid Tier 2 soap with a very unique scent. Sadly, Big Easy Soap and Tinctures doesn't exist anymore. But I still have a good bit of this stuff left.

 
This thread needs more @Mystic Water !!
Yeah...I actually kind of blew it on the "C" shave. Could have used my Coconut Sandalwood. I'll find a way to work it back in again. I am actually limited in the Mystic Water category and I need to rectify that at some point. Personally...I love Mystic Water soaps in sticks. It just works well for me that way!
