HOT: Floid Blue. Smells great and feels cool.
NOT: Musgo Real splash. One of my favorite scents ever, but just too thick/heavy for the summer.

HOT: Mama Bear soaps. Reaching for one of them almost every day.
NOT: Martin deCandre. It has lots of fans here, but I'm not one of them. Could never get over the scent issue. I just sold it; I hope the new owner loves it as much as most people here do.

HOT Institut Karite-- the waft of lavender when I start soaking it, the awesome slickness and lotion-like lather.
My new Japanese frameback-- I thought these were a bit nasty at first, but you just have to shave differently with them. Very close shave
NOT Tabac. The scent was cool in the winter, but it's just way too intense for the summer

HOT: Provence Sante Verlaine soap (first whiff didn't impress, but now it is all I can think of - when I'm not thinking about Cade!)
NOT: Booster Mosswood cream (I can't seem to get excellent lather as consistently as I can with my other soaps/creams - still love the scent and slickness though.)

HOT: Musgo Real. Tried it for the first time. Probably is my second-favorite cream, after Acca Kappa 1869.
NOT: My DE. I'd rather be using my straight, but the blade needs a touch-up, and I haven't had time to do anything with it.

HOT: Buying a new straight razor on the BST! 
NOT: Finding out that the Canadian Post is on strike...and the seller lives in Canada.
But it was shipped the day before they went on strike, so maybe, just maybe it slipped through...
EDIT: This will be a future Shave Cave product! Not a current one (yet!)
