What soap/cream did you use today?

I love the brain bowl. But I kinda wish it came with a shower cap to keep the elements off the treasures inside.

Right? I am thinking of large ziplock bags, or I might saran wrap them?

Have you given any thoughts on making a cover out of Kydex? Turn the brain bowl upside down and use it as the mold. Heat the Kydex, form it over the BB and trim as needed.

Lord help me.......that Martin de Candre "Brain Bowl"  (is that what it is called?), the bottle of Royall BayRhum and either of those brushes look so luxurious they make me feel like a shaving pauper.  Now, I really am not a pauper but I am a miser so I can not buy those things for myself.   I need to figure out how to induce someone to buy them for me as gifts!

Teddy, the Simpson T3 best, my Gamechanger, and a tub of Cella with proraso AFS is one of my favorite setups. All for well under 200 bux! We are living in a wet shave golden era!
Thanks for the nod.

Magellan (Martin de Candre) dried herbs, wood, & spices
Shave 1 ・ 225 g left

I was worried that the cinnamon in this shaving soap might set me ablaze and send me running for the hose. Luckily, it didn’t. Not even close. Turns out, Magellan isn't a stirring or adventurous fragrance. Ironic, considering the name. Rather, it's a mild-mannered scent, content to hum quietly in the background. There’s cinnamon, sure, but also thyme, dried and brittle, like something you’d find at the back of a pantry in a country house no one visits anymore. Just a whiff of anise and clove. And wood. Lots of wood, like half-timbered houses with exposed beams. The spice warms you up but doesn’t overstay its welcome, so you could use Magellan just as easily in the lazy heat of July as in the frosted stillness of January when you’re huddled around the fire.

I've borrowed today's picture from Martin de Candre, since I'm too tired and lazy to take my own. It certainly tells the story behind the fragrance. Snaps to them for releasing two fun flavors to commemorate their fifty years in the business.
