Today I changed it up. Instead of oranges from a compost pile, I used the compost pile growing oranges! (aka. Pitralon!)

The Ultimate Aftershave: Wholly Kaw - Agrumi in Estate
I haven't used this soap and aftershave combo in quite a while. And man is it a good one! For some reason I was thinking this soap base was a thirsty one and thus a little harder to lather. Nope...not this soap. It lathered quicker than a knife fight in a phone booth! And the lather is really smooth, rich and creamy. All this and it is still pretty slick!
If I had a quick sniff of this soaps I might tell you it smells like lemon drops...the candy...but not so sugary. But a closer inspection and this is a bright citrus scent. Not any one citrus in particular...just generally citrus. It is almost reminiscent of lemon grass...but more of the fruit! When researching the soap...this is what I found in the way of scent notes..."notes of lemon, lime and white grapefruit on a base of vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood and labdanum." So lemon grass isn't all that far off I think.
This is my fifth shave with the Feather blade and it is going strong. This blade seems to be shaving better now than it did when I first put it in the razor. I'm going to see how long it lasts while still providing a good shave. It may be that I just start buying feathers.
The shave was fantastic! I wouldn't call it BBS...because I rarely have one of those...but this shave is pretty damn good. Better than most.
Finalized the morning shave ritual with an aftershave of the same name. And though very few will will be fortunate enough to sniff the wafting fragrance that is me...I still doused myself appropriately. As if I want the whole world to shave in the glory of my aftershave!

Happy Star Wars Day.... May the 4th be with You!
Where were you on that theme @dangerousdon ??
Each item of my shave today represents a character......
Razor: Vector - Luke Skywalker (Lightsaber)
Brush: Sorrentino Count Luka Brassi - Darth Vader
Soap: LNHC Haute Leather - Han Solo (this is what I imagine his leather jacket smells like)
Post: Witch Hazel - Princess Leia (purity)
AS: Vintage Lilac Vegetal - Yoda (very strong with The Force)

Eh...not a big Star Wars guy.
If you guys wan ta specific theme you have to let me know and remind me!That's not what I think his leather jacket smells like. More like sweat and wet dog (or Wookie)
By the way...didn't he were a vest more often than a jacket?
Purity?! BWAHAAHAAHAA!!! Did you actually watch the movies?
And GREEN!
@woodpusher ’s theme for Star Wars Day: Innards of a Tauntaun
Well look who’s being critical of a theme now! And ultra critical for someone who is admittedly not a big Star Wars fan!

I wasn't critical of a theme...I was critical of your interpretation!
