Wednesday SOTD Thread - March 19th, 2025 (#645)

Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Slow Dancing in the Dark
Day 10 of the TSF Domination era. The other soap groups are scared of TSF! They're hoping and wishing that TSF would get eliminated because they know TSF is what THE PEOPLE want! Well you can't beat THE PEOPLE!

Didn’t get a chance to shave the last two days of March Madness. So I shaved as early as I could today to help Stirling make it another round.
This brush is really, really hard to deal with. Have not figured it out yet.

Dirtyver ++, Verbena ++
though the cream needs a LOT of loading, the lather is very good indeed
and I finally got over whatever gave me burnt tire in the splash, so now it smells amazing

First time using X. As soon as I lathered it up, I could smell the Haitian Vetiver. Apparently C Bubs is a Vetiver fiend?
