Adventus Day 13
This is easily the weirdest soap I've ever encountered. It's not a cream or croap. It's goo. And sticky. I had to use a bit of gymnastics to get it off my scoop and get it attached to the bowl. I was worried it would attach to my brush, but it worked out. It made a good amount of pillowy lather. I guess the lanolin base gives it some of these properties (lotion soap, a loap?)
The scent was odd too. It's in the Old Spice neighborhood, but it kept changing as I worked it into a lather. By the end of the shave, the scent largely dissipated. I randomly chose Eleven Apollo, a nice non-alcoholic aftershave.
This day's satchel had a few goodies: a Spearhead Shaving lather logbook, a box of Personna Platinum blades, Nacet blades, and two samples of Summer Break Woodshop soap.
Have a good one!

[OO..]Adventus Day 14
Today was a really nice soap from Chiseled Face. Slick base with a good scent throughout. I paired it with 7 Doubloons and randomly chose the fragrance, Madame Chouteau.
Today's satchel held a variety of frag samples (Indigo, Alive, Damocles) from HoM, a sample of Valley of Ashes by Southern Witchcrafts, and a sample of Prince Edward Island by Shannon's Soaps.
Have a good one!
