SOTD – Sun 23 Jul 2023

MSC is a firm soap and is one of his newer recipes with Tallow 1st (instead of last in earlier recipes), it easily generated a rich creamy high density lather. Lather gave awesome slickness and great residual, with a great after shave feel, this is an excellent soap. To my nose the scent smells just like Hugo Boss Bottled, probably my favourite Hugo fragrance, warm, spicy & woody, scent strength 5/10. The “Standard Razors” razor + Treet Classic gave a wonderful easy going DFS.

The Gear:​

• Pre Shave: Suavecito Brushless Shaving Cream
• Brush: APShave Co “Green&Black” with 24/54 Cashmere
• Soap: Master Soap Creations - The Chieftain
• Bowl: Yaqi Black ABS “Duke”
• Razor: Standard Razors AL Raw Silver
• Blade: Treet Classic Steel (3)
• Splash: Imperial Bergamot AS with added Menthol
• Balm: Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream
• After Shave: Imperial Leather AS
• Moisturiser (Later): Nivea Men Creme (Face-Body-Hands)

Soap: Squadron - Group Captain's Blend
Brush: Platypus
Razor: Kickuth
Slowing digging out my razors and putting them through their paces. Some haven't had a run in a couple of years. The Kickuth is the old mellow sounding steel when shaving.
I said to Mrs Pbgoose this morning, 'which brush should I use'? She said the good looking one - something to that effect - anyway, she meant the 'Platypus'. Couldn't argue.

Loin shouldn’t been smoking cigars

Anytime someone puts "smoking" and "loin" in the same sentence, I get a little uncomfortable, as it sounds very painful!

Someone once sent me a video of a "lady" smoking a cigar using her... umm, pelvic floor muscles. Some things can't be unseen.

I have no intention of smoking cigars in my loin...

The MSC "The Chieftain" soap was not mentholated, I believe there is a lot more non-mentholated scents now.

No. It was a young woman.
