Shaving With Cuban Tobacco

I went back to one of the soaps that started it all, Cuban Tobacco. An amazing scent that takes all the guessing out of what this represents. Easy to lather and place in a bowl, spreads with just a finger, and in seconds, you're ready to make a lather.

Use a brush to ensure complete coverage of the beard. The soap's slickness and glide will allow your razor to move effortlessly over challenging areas without causing irritation. The post-shave feel is great, and the aftershave just tops off the shave nicely.

Sorry, I didn't have much time watching movies and TV shows, so I'll get back to that next week. 

Aramis - New From Wet The Face

Introducing Aramis – A New Addition to the Three Musketeers Shaving Soap series from Wet The Face. As a Musketeer, he is one of the great three. Aramis is a handsome, quiet, and somewhat foppish. He constantly protests that he is only temporarily in the Musketeers and that any day now he will return to the Church to pursue his true calling. Aramis has a mysterious mistress, Madame de Chevreuse, a high noblewoman, whose existence and identity he tries to keep from his friends.

Aramis stands out from the other musketeers because he’s refined, intellectual, and deeply religious. While the others often lean into bravado or physical strength, Aramis is more:

Elegant and well-spoken
Philosophical and thoughtful
Torn between two worlds: the sword and the church. 

Shaving With 1K Light Blue

Today I use 1K light blue. This is based on Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue for men. This is one of my favorites, and I'm sure it would be one of yours, too. I took the time this week to bowl lather, so glad I did. What a pleasure it was not to rush and go through my routine without worry this week.

If you know my soap base, you know it's a lather monster, and combined with our WTF shaving bowl, you can't lose. A word on the shaving bowls: they are in transit at the time of this writing and just might be back in stock this weekend, so if you're looking for one, check the website. Also, the WTF brush is now in progress. Amy, our pottery artisan, is going to try her hand at making a prototype, so my fingers are crossed that she is successful. If so, it shouldn't be long until we have them here.
