Shaving With The Green Knight
Today, we use The Green Knight shaving soap from Wet The Face. The fragrance is a harmonious blend of nature’s treasures, designed to captivate and invigorate. It opens with bright notes of sweet orange and mandarin, like the glint of sunlight through the trees. As the scent deepens, spicy layers of cinnamon bark, clove leaf, and clove bud emerge, evoking the warmth of a hearth amidst the chill of winter. Fresh and cooling hints of eucalyptus and mentha leaf intertwine with the earthy richness of pine and cumin, grounding the experience in the heart of an ancient forest. Finally, a subtle touch of grapefruit and the nourishing essence of wheat germ complete the profile, leaving you refreshed and ready to face your day with the courage of a knight.

Shaving With FairHope Key West
Today I'm using Faith Hope Shaving Soap, the HIM collection. This one is Key West, and as of this writing, it's no longer available on her website. The person I speak of is Deborah Bruijn. She was raised in San Diego, California, and is now a proud Southerner settling down in Alabama’s Gulf Coast in a beautiful, small, arts and craftsy town of Fairhope. She has a chemist degree and has worked for 10 years in the biopharma industry, took time off to have a family, and now has turned her talents to soap making.

Shaving With De Vergulde Hand
I bloomed this puck in warm water for two minutes, then soaked up the bloom water with the brush and dumped the rest out of the bowl. This made for a very easy time lathering, and the lather went on thick and creamy. Plenty of slickness and glide for the razor, and the post-shave feel was fantastic.

Vintage Bay Rum & Plasma VS OLED
It was at the end of the day, and I needed to relax. I started setting up for the evening shave and came across my Vintage BayRum Generations. On the label, you can see a picture of many generations, all at the kitchen table. The father is passing down the traditions of wet shaving to his two children, just as his grandfather did years ago.
The aftershave of the same scent was applied, and I couldn't have been more relaxed.

Palmolive Stick Shave & Tylenol
Today, I need a quick shave, which is why I am using the Palmolive shaving stick. It is fast, easy, and effective. The scent is pleasant, and it is one of my favorites. It provides excellent smoothness and glide, and the post-shave sensation is always positive.
Regarding the Tylenol mentioned in the title, I recently watched the Netflix series “The Tylenol Murders” and recalled the news coverage of the incident years ago. It was a concerning period for individuals who could not use aspirin, as no alternative was available. Consequently, all bottles of Tylenol were removed from drugstores, and it took a considerable amount of time for them to be reintroduced.

Let's Do A Wool Fat Shave
Hey, I had an idea today. I thought I’d try a wool fat shave, but guess what? The wool fat shaving soap is discontinued, and prices are going through the roof! But here’s the good news: I still have my original puck! I bought it ages ago, and it came in a ceramic bowl and lid. I will show you how to use it to load the brush and then create a rich, creamy face lather.
Here was my course of action: Bloom for 2 to 5 minutes, take your brush and soak it in the bloom water, next use the bloom water to wet your face with it, then discard the rest. Now load the brush with the soap until it is full, and make a face lather. I have to say I'm going to miss this soap when it's all gone.
