Isnā€™t that the truth. Never had a bad product from CBL, with one notable exception. I do not care AT ALL for the Roasted Oatmeal Stout. To my nose it smells like Dead Bowel tissue in the OR. Thatā€™s when surgeons and OR staff swipe a couple of drops of wintergreen oil under their facemasks, which makes it tolerable. Perhaps YMMV. But I digressā€¦

Bit of a smogasboard shave today, but another winner from CBL. Bright lemony goodness and super skin properties.

The Witch Hazel is too die for. Looking for an aftershave the, again, CBL California Sunrise pairs perfect, but Ruezel wanted to be a part of the party

With all the brightness of the shave an Aquatic in the realm of BdC was needed, but not as heavy. Yacht was perfect for the task

Some Clubman talc to finish up and a great shave

Enjoy your Thursday!

Upon reflection I forgot to mention the positive qualities of the soap. Lathers easily, and has all of the slickness, cushion, and post shave feel weā€™ve come to expect from CBL. Lemme put it this way, if Chris ever comes out with an Unscented Roasted Oatmeal Stout Iā€™ll buy it.

You may be the only person on earth that has such a STRONG objection to the Roasted Oatmeal Stout scent. But that's ok, can't love them all. You bring up a good point about the other qualities of the ROS soap, Using real stout beer in the formula definately makes for an exceptional lather. I have another beer based scent, Dragon's Milk, that is also a great performer with a really unique scent. The beer used is actually called Dragon's milk, it's a bourbon barrel aged stout beer. Unlike the sweet edible smelling ROS, the Dragon's Milk is more on the exotic/enchanting side.
MAYBE when I make another batch of beer (stout or otherwise) I will set aside some unscented base to see if it is easier to enjoy.

After over a year of development it is FINALLY here and available at www.cblsoap.com in limited quantities. It encompasses the passion @NurseDave and myself have for the shaving world, the cadre, and our love of stuff and now we want to share it with you

It should be note we DO NOT make any profit on this soap and all proceeds go to @CBLSoap.com

We just want to share:

Now for the shave. This has the ā€œhombres baseā€ and has fragrance notes of

Leather, cedar, fresh cigars (tobacco), cigar smoke, scotch whisky. All those together give you that vibe of a cigar lounge. It is long lasting and evolves wonderfully

Typical of CBL the shave soap and aftershave are perfect!

Have a good day!

Last day of the week in the shop and Iā€™m very excited about that two more days after that and Iā€™m on Christmas vacation. todayā€™s shave was fairly a grab and go opened up the soap locker saw the Nuavia and everything else kind of formed around it

Three passes and very good shave, and I felt lucky today because I did pick the wild mint, which is just absolutely a stellar fragrance

Everyone enjoys their Saturday and maybe consider signing up for a zoom call this Sunday

Memories of My dad for this Shave. I29II remember nothing by great things when these scents come wafting out. The soap being glycerin is not that bad and was out of the archives today. The SS did a great job except for a momentary lapse of reason and a nice little slice when I was not paying attention. YES Safety razors can do damage when you are STUPID and not paying attention, LOL

Have a good Evening
 
Great video today! Thanks for sharing the Christmas memories. Iā€™ve completely agreed with your take that ā€œChristmas Shavesā€ should evoke the scents of the season for the shaver, regardless of what those scents might be.
