Another citrus flavored soap at bat for Citrus Week in the themes! I went with Uplift from Sudsy Soapery. For the longest time SS had made an excellent soap base without tallow or another animal fat. And to be honest, that soap base was better than most tallow soaps. At one time I even called it Elite and today I still say that it is a strong Tier 1 soap! Enter their tallow version. This is some good stuff. If I thought the soap hit all the marks before. It doubly does so now! I think this was their first offering in tallow, so I didn't have may choices in scent at the time. But even so, this soap smells pretty good! It is all lemon. It's a bit on the one note side...but it is still pleasant to sniff.
My three pass shave turned more into a four pass and clean-up. Don't ask how I ended up with four passes...I just did. At any rate...I am becoming more and more impressed with the Injector. But this thing is sharp! It is a wonder that I have not seen a speck of blood after three shaves with it! Mr. Murphy probably heard that though and tomorrows shave is likely to be a blood bath! Either way...today's shave was a good one, despite the experimental pass. I got a DFS+...so I am good!
Smeared on some A&E Shave Serum again and man does that stuff add that extra something to the skin. Love it! Florida water is on deck for me before I leave for work again. I know it is a cheap drug store cologne...but that stuff smells good (to me) and it seems to last a good bit of the day. I still smelled some last night on my hands!
The Danger Zone:
Work has me traveling to the most impoverished parish in our state today. And it isn't easy to get to. No interstates for me today...cross country it is. The ride is between 3 and a half and four hours one way. But oddly, I am looking forward to it. I wish I was in my own vehicle though. Because about 20 minutes north of where I will be is a site that I have wanted to see for a very long time! Poverty Point is World Heritage site that that was a place that a civilization thrived about 3,000 years ago. There are lots of earth works and an amphitheater. It's just rare that one can visit something that old.
If you are interested check out these sites. Yeah...I know one of them is Wikipedia...but it has more information on it than the official sites:

It's Hump Day! Let's make today a great one!
