SOTD "FREE WEEK" November 19th - November 25th, 2018

[PJO]

It's another "FREE Week" ladies and gentlemen.

It's time to be creative.

Please feel free to post any photo, with any gear and any style you chose, or contribute by telling us what you used in your shave, with comments on the shave, if you desire.

Color, B&W, sepia or a photograph with any type of artistic touch you wish is always desired.

HAVE FUN!

Maybe let Ron sleep?

Anybody know how to close last week’s thread?

I did notify Ron by PM about starting a new thread.
Haven't heard back from him.
Since I don't have any way of closing last week's thread, I just added a post to it about this new thread.
Hope I haven't messed things up, guys!

There aren't enough superlatives to describe it! Absolutely fabulous IMO!! It is a thirsty soap and will have to really dial it in with several more shaves. Lather, slickness, performance, face feel are all superb. As to the scent...you do get the immediate scents of cranberry, cardamom and the mousse de saxe but then the undertones start creeping in - patchouli, rose, sandalwood, and bergamot...once it starts to settle down it all melds together very nicely. The aftershave was the real surprise and complimented the soap really well - a very velvety comfortable scent for this time of year - it's been several hours since the shave and I'm still getting hints of scent and loving it.

OK, Russ, you lost me on "mousse de saxe" but I am willing to bet it is great -- and the rest sounds wonderful. I also got the AS, so I am glad you added that note. C'mon, USPS!
