🧼 🪒 SOTD "ARTISAN SOAP/CREAM WEEK" August 5th to 11th, 2024 🧼 🪒

[SharpieB]

Hi fellow B&Bers!

Theme Week time AGAIN!

It's time to show the B&B community your favourite Artisan soaps and creams. Let’s see some limited or small production soaps and creams and tell us why you like them.

Being creative and having fun IS mandatory as usual. Sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory. Feel free to post any SOTD photo or just tell us about your shave.

We are talking about posting pics of tubs/tubes of soaps and creams here, so it isn’t a tough one this week! So the more creative the pics are, the better. And yes, Arko is unfortunately allowed.

Wholly Kaw is one of my favorite brands, and Rebelle is one of my favorite Wholly Kaw soaps.

This was a quick two-pass shave due to very tight time constraints - 1st pass with the Tedalus Essence; 2nd pass with the Alpha Spirit. This was my first shave in a while with the Tedalus. It never grows old! IMO props are also due to the Alpha Spirit. I like it better with every shave.

Pre-Shave	Face wash with Cera Ve Face Soap
Soap/Cream	Razor Rock Classic
Brush	Simpson Duke 3 in Best
Bowl	Captains Choice Copper
Razor	Timeless SS SB .68
Blade	Personna Medical Prep
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Every Man Jack ASB
Fragrance	Beverly Hills, Polo Club
Rating	10/10
Comments	My Timeless SS SB .68 and Personna Medical Prep blade combined gave me a fifth perfect shave. Normally, I toss a blade after three or four shaves. However, with the Timeless I can get a few more shaves. The shave was smooth and close. The next brush in my rotation was the Simpson Duke 3 in Best. The brush did a nice job of making lather. However, I had to load more soap on the brush to shave my head. The Razor Rock soap was used for the 17th consecutive day. The soap continues to excel in performance. The result was a perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.
