Shaving With Athos

Today we use Athos the first in the series of The 3 Musketeers. Athos Shaving Soap, inspired by the iconic character from "The Three Musketeers." Athos, renowned for his wisdom and stoicism, serves as the leader of the musketeers, guiding his comrades with his keen insight and unwavering resolve. As D'Artagnan's trusted mentor and closest confidant, Athos embodies loyalty and honor, sharing a deep bond with his fellow musketeers, Aramis and Porthos.

Capturing the essence of Athos' enigmatic persona, our Athos shaving soap boasts a captivating blend of fragrances. Delight your senses with the refreshing notes of Black Currant and Lemon, intertwined with the refreshing essence of Bergamot. The delicate floral tones of Gardenia, Orchid, Lotus, and Jasmine add an elegant touch, while earthy hints of Patchouli and Cedar evoke a sense of mystery and depth. Finished with warm undertones of Amber and Sweet Musk, Athos shaving soap leaves a lingering scent of sophistication and intrigue.

Palmolive Shaving Stick

This all started the day my friend Frank emailed me after I did my shaving stick videos in April. He told me that he had a Palmolive shaving stick that he wanted to give me to try. Now most wet shavers know that the Palmolive Shaving stick is no longer made so finding one is nearly impossible but having someone send a new one to you is just amazing. I expressed I was very grateful to him and would love to have the chance to experience this. He told me he would send it out.

As time passed not once did I ever bother Frank asking him about the stick I knew if the wet shaving gods wanted me to have one it would arrive and then in May Frank contacted me again and said he didn't have a chance to send it (traveling) but he hoped to send it out the next day after we spoke.

Shaving & Skechers

Today we are using a soap from the Dirty Girls series called Test Pilot Mary. This was the first in the series, and it holds a special spot in my heart because the pilot's name is also my wife's. This soap shares something else as well: it comes very close to the popular Dior Men's Sauvage. You can see Johnny Depp in the ad campaign for the cologne.

No movies to report about this week, so I'll be telling you about how I had to buy new sneakers due to how worn out my old ones had gotten. My sneakers only last about two years before the soles start peeling off. I was told that instead of only buying one pair and wearing them until they were worn out, I should buy two pairs and alternate them. That sounds good, but I'm not the kind of person who would do that until now.

Shaving & Talking #21

Today we use Lodge 49 in our shaving & Talking #21. If you don't know this soap it was born out of the love for a TV series of the same name. I thought it would make a perfect soap and an homage to the canceled series. Truly one of the most interesting series around, alas we will never know what happens in the end.

On the other hand, the shave was fantastic as you can see by the video we produced an amount of lather that we could shave five men, with two passes each. The slickness and glide are above average and the post-shave feel was great.

A few weeks ago I signed up for Apple TV and man I have been watching some good shows.

Engima Shave

In Today's video, I go back to when I first started collecting shaving soap and found a tin of Enigma in my den. I have had this for some time now and it still performs just as it did when I purchased it 5 or 6 years ago. The scent has kept its strength along with every note and what a scent it is.

The one I have came in a tin that's when tins were all the rage back then now of course most artisans use plastic tubs which I think turned out for the better in the long run. However, plastic is a sin, so until they come up with something else I'll have to stick with using plastic tubs.

Name That Puck!

Today I'm using a puck that will be part of a contest for YouTube subscribers. If you can name the puck I'm using in this video and be the first one to leave in the comments the company name and what the puck is called, you will win a shaving soap from Wet The Face.
