Soap/cream of the day

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet shaving soap (tallow)

We are spending some time down in Florida with my parents as I'm lucky to be able to work from anywhere right now, and it's a great way to escape the winter weather in Chicagoland for a bit. Brought a couple soaps down with me, one of which is the Soap Commander Endurance that @MarkB so graciously gifted as part of the Rudolph exchange. This was my first Soap Commander product (as well as the balm!) and I'm loving both the Old Spice inspired scent as well as the performance.

What do you think??

Top tier! Excellent glide. Perfect protection during shave. The scent is the thing. It is subtle, but in 3 passes it builds to very pleasingly aromatic. My wife just said: Oh, it's very European! On that note (see what I did there?) there was a barber shop we passed in Milan when we lived there that always had the door open, rain or shine. The scent of Old School reminds me of the scent coming from that barber shop. I'm sitting here enjoying the post shave scent immensely! Got a couple more shaves left from the sample; I'll definitely use it the next couple of days and see where I end up. Definitely on my list to purchase a tub!! Now, what to do about the 's' thingy I signed up for?? :p As in all things shaving, YMMV.

So, not to wear this out, but there's a local burger chain we go to when we're allowed to go out to eat. It's called The Counter. Very old school diner, burgers, shakes, frings, etc. You get the idea. Anyway, they have a burger that I always get... Wait for it...

It's called Old School :p. It may be a sign!? :unsure:
