My plan of using MdC Agrumes for a few weeks until the next 3017 victim was chosen has been derailed, but in a good way. My wife has several relatives that live in Michigan near the small town where Mama Bear soaps are currently produced. A member of our family is celebrating a birthday this week and the folks from Michigan sent us all a large gift box. Among other items were some Mama Bear shaving soaps. They are larger than samples but smaller than the full size pucks I've seen in the past. One of the scents is called Autumn Afternoon and while we are a few weeks away from Autumn here the scent was spot on perfect and I couldnt resist. Those of you unfamiliar with Mama Bear soaps, they are a classic melt and pour glycerin based soap like Col Conk...only way better than the Conk. As I always do with glycerin soaps I nuked the puck for 15 seconds and poured it into an Old Spice Mug.
First shave with MB Autumn Afternoon was this morning. I used a Simpson T3. I havent used a glycerin based soap in a while so I had to fiddle with the soap water ratio a bit. Once dialed in it produced that wonderful lather that only glycerin soaps can produce. Slick as anything I've ever used and the scent is perfect. This one will go fast but its a great change of pace and I'm looking forward to this 3017 effort.
