What soap/cream did you use today?

Absinthe (Martin de Candre) minty anise
Shave 8 ・ 238 g left ・ $7.50 / shave

I was loving the smell of Wholly Kaw’s Dulci Tobacco, but after only two days with that thin cream my face was torn to shreds. Rather disappointing. So, back to the hold it goes. For the last month or so the only thing that’s worked consistently for me is Martin de Candre’s Absinthe along with the Vector razor and a guarded blade. I’m afraid you may be seeing a lot more of this set up in 2025.

Brush Plisson Heritage Bordeaux High Mountain White synthetic (51) ・ Razor Blackland Vector Ti (148) ・ Blade Feather Soft Guard (4) ・ 860 consecutive shaves

Did they stop making this? I was unable to find it for sale anywhere.

It's only been around for a couple months. It's only available from MDC directly, as far as I know.
My shipment is due Tuesday or Wednesday.

Good call TC. May follow your lead tomorrow with negative temps expected in the morning.... Come on pipes. Get thru 1 more night without freezing....

Let the faucets trickle just a touch and open the cabinet doors under the sinks.

Right Bluegrass! ? I have been dripping, streaming, flushing, running dishwasher, moving heaters around for 16 days! I think we have 2 more days of danger. My place was built in 1894 and she likes being aloof and drafty. I had a furnace blower crap out the night we had single digits. Fixed now but scary.

Neroli, you are right. I hHave the cabinets open, slow trickle for both hot and cold. . Researched the p-chem associated with freezing H2O. Very inerstin. Moving water obviously is key - entry temp from inlet pipes here is about 52 degrees. My pipes are in the east wall of the house.... Looking forward to spring. The larger the stream, the warmer one can keep the pipes and water.

Btw, I looked over my shoulder and over the years i start hitting the green jars in the winter season. I noted this behavior this week. I think I crave that thick creamy tallow this time of year.... And Stirling scents that I like are "cold weather" accords. The green jar usage will be in high gear for another 6 weeks I am afraid. ?. It really is a GREAT product. Kudos to Rod.
