I was channeling my inner @Bill M, @CVargo , and @dangerousdon .... and WOW what a trip. It was like eating Bacon Cookies, while Sasquatch was whining for me to give him some, and Don dancing like a bearded cow. Terrifying actually
Regardless of the obvious excess facial hair at times, I always identified with the clean shaven.I was channeling my inner @Bill M, @CVargo , and @dangerousdon .... and WOW what a trip. It was like eating Bacon Cookies, while Sasquatch was whining for me to give him some, and Don dancing like a bearded cow. Terrifying actually
Besides my hoboism is now in remission.

Day two with the MdC like base of Hombres Spaghetti Western. And again I believe that this may be the best base @CBLindsay has done does surpass Orion. The main takeaway is the cushion, latherability, and glide. Unreal! All other parts of the have are good. After the new year will be sending out some test samples for review before it is put into production for a spring release (I hope). See my video from yesterday to find out how to receive a sample and the detail
Have a great day!

If I didn't have 15+ years of soaps in the basement ...... well, I guess it doesn't matter.... because I do.
I think you need to collect soaps like it is the inheritance for the next three generations at least!
The way I see it, soaps are easily available, so I do not feel compelled to collect countless numbers. And since my choices are one unscented v another, I look for the best base. I'm willing to experiment.

Day 3 review of the same set up with a few small changes day to day. I am loving this soap base and I will be using it a few more times. Again, I think this is @CBLindsay best soap to date
All other items worked in concert. This is going to be a real winner after the final product is produced and ready
Thanks for stopping by

A few years ago i posted a pic to my parents at Christmas as we basked in 67° Texas weather on the day wearing shorts and t-shirts, as they endured the tribulations of a Scottish winter although it's mild where they live usually.
By mild i mean not freezing, but they chose to retire there and i told them they'd soon settle down to a life of starvation with occasional trips to hypothermia - but the views!

Again, Happy Holidays folks, an early shave , but late entry. Today was a good day, although the shave lacked a bit for the 2nd entry for this round. The software was all good, but the razor lacked that “thing”. It was still BBS, but the alum was the “tale of the tape”
So far the “Viking” is still in the lead after 2 days in
A fantastic day overall in spite of the shave. I will say it again. The Merriest of Holidays to you and yours and from the bottom of my heart I THANK YOU FOR BEING MEMBERS AND FOR ALL YOU DO
