Thanks Guido! I love a Rechtsanwalt who actually saves me money!
You’re my Harvey Specter!
I am so happy that you like the soap! Maybe it was just luck since it was my first try to make shave soap, but of the soaps I have personally tried myself, it holds it's own. I probably will make some more here soon. I have been thinking about it. I may go for a whole kilo this time so I can share some with some folks around this neck of the woods. Personally I have probably BSS#1 from the first batch to last me a couple of years.Ok, did a head shave with some more goodies @blethenstrom sent over and this time none other than his signature shaving soap BSS#1. The scent in this stuff is amazing! I absolutely love it. I am a side by gear and this brings out the best in me!
Using the RR400B again and I had lather in no time at all. Thick rich slick lather. My Schick felt like skiing today. Residual slickness is wonderful too. My skin feels nourished and smooth. Nice post shave feel.
This was also the first time using a shave stick. That requires some additional skills for me at least. Felt a little strange, but fortunately my head stubble came to assist me and all was well. A damp 400 did the rest and baboom!! lather!!
Boris you give other soap makers a run for their money. This stuff is just great!!
Cheers y’all!

Same for me, but no hospital stent. My sense of smell seems to have recovered somewhat.
Yeah the COVID hospital stay was interesting. My wife had it at the same time and we had been down for the count for about a week and my ox levels were dropping. She had to drive me to the hospital and drop me off at the ER. I did not bring anything to stay there I thought they were just going to give me something and send me home. Nope they wheeled me off and my wife headed home. The day after she had to come back to drop a bag for me. she had to drop it at the front door and they had to deliver it to me. Yeah it was no fun and I am glad that that is over and past.
I'd like to think mine has but sometimes I wonder.
This is the exact opposite for me. I drove my wife to the ER, thinking she'd be seen and released, her kidney function was at 15%, which complicated the situation as the experimental drug they used at the time required a certain level of kidney function. It was touch and go for a while with her, she never fully recovered and returned to work only for a short time. She is one of those long-term covid patients and on long-term disability from her job.
Mine too, but it is nice to not notice my dog's killer breath that much. If her bark doesn't stop an intruder, her breath darn sure will.
Absolutely! I am glad to have been one of the Guinea pigs. Next month I will be using it on the face or at least that’s the plan…too much in rotation! Haha!
Thank you, Guido, my bride has her ups and downs, but it hasn't stopped her from planting every flower known to man, nor wanting every single furbaby she runs across. Her main symptoms are being easily winded and no energy from time to time.
Thanks I'm just thankful that it is just my smell. I have no other ill effects that I can tell, but your never know.
Look at it from the bright side she can let one rip anytime she wants to and he will not be none the wise.
His hearing is still pretty good.
Lemme fix that for ya...ala Homer. "Doh!...A deer!" BADABOOM! with some help from Thom and Boris
