One sweet photo!

Another new shave soap today from The Shaving Soap and once again I really like the aroma from this one. Courtesy of Amanda of Tiki Bar Soaps comes 'The Time Traveler". I'm a big fan of Amanda's soaps and heard good things about this one so had to find out for myself what all the "buzz" was about. Instead of water she used IPA beer, hops, HEMP along with some nutmeg, dark chocolate, amber, patchouli, and vanilla. Another scent that is hard to describe from the jar but again looking forward to whipping up some lather with this. All of Amanda's soaps are super easy for me to lather up and that was before she used beer instead of water. Couldn't decide if I wanted to finish off the "buzz" with a bourbon bay rum aftershave (Small Batch Tonic) or Rum based aftershave but opted with the Jolly Rodger Rum based since I used Small Batch Tonic just two days ago. Just for the record, I like a drink now and then and did my share of partying in my youth but never touched cannabis (or other elicit drugs) for that matter but the description of this soap did intrigue me.

Thank you so much Celestino, I am starting to investigate some more tweaks on the photo editor on my PC now so hopefully I can come up with some much better shots in the future. Also using my Canon Rebel XTi now as well and I must say, it takes some pretty good photos for how old it is
