Grooming and Hygiene
-
The Martin De Candre soap is very good, lathers easily and builds a nice foam cushion quickly. It should last a long time.
The smell is subtle and not overpowering which is good so it does not conflict with any aftershave you choose to use.
The only downside is the size of the jar opening, it is not quite as wide as the Saponificia Varesino tin jars. This makes working the brush into the top of the soap a bit more fiddly, nothing serious just obvious once you have got used to a larger jar aperture.

@68degreesorless I’ve always liked Jack Black stuff. Use their “Double-Duty Face Moisturizer” pretty much every day
-
@SKT yeah that is a good moisturizer. It was one of my first forays into the good stuff. My favorite is the kiehls facial fuel daily energizing moisturizer but golly it’s expensive. Been trying to find a poor man’s version for a while now.
-
@68degreesorless I haven’t tried the Kiehls. Does it have any spf? It’s been hard for me hard to find a face moisturizer with spf that doesn’t make me feel like I’m wearing straight up sunscreen. That’s why I’ve stuck with the jack black
-
@SKT no spf. To me, the spf ones don’t feel quite as luxuriously moist. I tell myself I’ll just apply spf separately but then I often just skip it. Since long term, the spf is probably more important than the moisture, I should probably go back to the combo.

@SKT gave me a good chuckle. I can very much relate to this; long pit hair and hobbit hairy feet (at least with this comes pretty long lashes)… friends on my bball team back in high school used to say “it looks like you have Don King in a head lock”. The AKT and its intimate application brought back this teen nostalgia

@flannel-slut “Don King in a headlock”
now I can’t unsee it -
I received the Fulton and Roark Cult Favorites Discovery Set. I do like Sterling, so I ordered the "Solid Fragrance" tin of that as well as a tin of Calle Oche (based on some reviews). I'm unsure about Calle Ocho ... I've never been to a Pottery Barn, but for some reason that's my expectation of what that store might smell like.
