Best lather to date with this brush. Still want to be embalmed with Sea Spice Lime when I die.

Is Kryptonite the only mentholated Mammoth soap?

Loaded way too much soap, so did head and face shave today with a bowl lather.

My complaints with the soap for Dammusi are already melting away with the second use. The splash is still phenomenal.

I tend to lean towards fruit scents for my personal tastes, so I bet you’re right. The citrus is just coming more forward in the splash and the soap gets more of the undertones that I’m not used to yet.

The scent has been awesome all day. The soap is more complex than the splash, so it’s going to take me a while to really get into it.

Posted this in my SorD but I’ll post here too, anybody try Dammusi yet? The scent is incredible, I wish the soap actually smelled like the splash :(

I think the actual pairing I’ll go with for this scent, in the future, is Sea Spice Lime as the soap with Dammusi splash. This is the first HoM to make me want to buy a frag.

Anybody else try Dammusi yet? Curious what people think. I absolutely love the scent on the splash, but the soap doesn’t really smell the same, it’s like the scent is blended different. I still like it, but slightly sad.

Finally trying out the SBS soap base. Good performance, marred slightly by me definitely needing to change this blade.

That said, this scent is amazing. Easily jumps straight into my top 10.

This is one of the very first soaps that I bought, and when I started I really struggled with it. Decided to give it a go today and was much more successful with some knowledge. Could probably still stand some more water, but very comfortable shave.

I think I’m biased because I’m from Texas and it just reminds me of growing up, but you absolutely cannot go wrong with Lonestar if you’re looking for another NO to try.

Lots of new software. Bought a tub/splash of SBS Bellringer (have a story for this set for a lather games day), a bottle of SBS Valedictorian splash because djundjila said it goes well with Shire, Lonestar frag, AylM Isacco cologne (I love the stupidly oversized bottles), and a bunch of samples.

I’m definitely beyond what I could ever reasonably use to completion, but collecting is the name of the game now.

Getting back into the daily shave groove. I’ve had enough putzing around for the summer already and there’s still a month and a half left of my break. Daily shaving is much easier when I’m shaving my head and can alternate face and head every day.

If any of you have Weinstrasse and haven’t mentholated it, I highly recommend it.

The story is he’s a curmudgeon and hates all the scents, but especially anything fruit forward. I always use fruit scents around him for rubbing purposes.

My Sea Ice Lime did double duty today. Saved me from the heat, pissed off my dad with the scent :)

Too hot. Get rid of the SP.

Really digging Isacco as a frag. Decided to not buy a tub of the soap because I really struggle with soft soaps.

First headshave in a while. Two months with hair and it was already back to an itchy dandruff nightmare. Had a barber do a straight shave yesterday. It’s still crazy to me that I can do a 2 pass shave with a 2 week old blade and get a closer shave than the barber with a fresh blade.

This comment was super helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the info! I’m probably going to keep them separate for now. Going to start looking into other Lemmy communities later this week.
