Arabian Spice Shaving Soap, Chelsea's Soap Garden - Natural Handmade Soap
(*Gift from SRP) My new favorite is the Arabian Spice. The scents of ginger, cinnamon and vanilla in the latter were a slight overpowering for my liking. It is a softer soap than many of the glycerin soaps I have tried.
Overall, a great soap.


Have a nice day,

Once again...the beautiful Castagnon I got from a friend in Spain.

Thursday

A warm, humid night (27 degrees) and already dripping with sweat after showering meant a cold water shave seemed very logical and inviting, so I got a jug of cold water from the fridge to shave with. It was excellent. I’ve tried a cold water shave before, but not icy cold water on a hot day.

Sometimes I look at this Jernbolaget in its daggy scales and (I think) artistic patina (by me) and I think it’s ugly, and then I look at it again and I think it’s beautiful.

The Proraso and Floïd always complement each other nicely; and went so well with the warm morning/cold water shave scenario.

Twelve days until Christmas. I’ve gotta get a whole HEAP of those Christmas elf things that Unit was talking about and scatter them around, because as far as I can tell not only is my son getting coal for Christmas but he’s headed straight to hell as well, and with the end of the world here soon (thank goodness) I’d better get active with helping him out of his dilemma. Hope you’re all being good, I hear those elves are real dibber dobbers.

(some of you may need to Google ‘fridge’, ‘daggy’ and ‘dibber dobbers’; I refuse to ‘mainstream’ my vernacular)

Sounds like a nice scent, esp for Winter, I might have to look it up!
