SOTD – Sat.22Jun2024​

SOTD-20240622-setup.png


Featured Soap: Summer Break Soaps - Rope Swing, Tallow based soap with scents that have a School theme, made in Nebraska USA. Scent described as: “The scent notes on this one are dandelion, water, moss, galbanum, juniper, ozone, patchouli, and cedar. The scent opens with a rush of green before settling down into a beautiful mix of dandelion and woodsy elements. The aquatic notes are not featured here but instead play a supporting role. Rope Swing also features the synthetic cooling ingredient WS-23."
Shave Report: Lather structure & performance was top notch. The Alpha “Shave Dad” razor with the Wizamet SI blade performed wonderfully has great grip, shaves mild but efficient and gave me a smooth, clean and close DFS, the razor reminds me of how the Karve ALU Overlander shaves.
