Simply stunning. The AOS sandalwood w/tallow is my favorite commercial soap. Fantastic.

Chris, I'm not sure if this is helpful to you, but it might be worth checking out. https://sweetcsdesigns.com/homemade-corn-nuts/ If you want to mail order hominy, these guys are expensive but you can order a small quantity. https://sites.google.com/site/chimayochile/secure_shopping On the other han...

I know this was a few months ago, but I wanted to say I'm not sure the different ingredient list is much of a reformulation. All of the scent ingredient stuff is just listing specific components that may be irritants according to EU regulations. Potassium stearate is a more accurate rewording of ste...

if they made a gold plated progress i'd take it to bed every night

Mergress is the only razor I would buy at this point. My Rockwell 6S is doing just fine, but the Mergress is certainly a looker, and the one I had was a very nice shaving tool. I also foolishly sold it.

Superb. These Harris soaps have been hitting the spot for me this week.

Gary, no dice so far. That said, I looked at the ingredient list of current TOBS Sandalwood soap. They are nearly identical save for shea butter in the lime as opposed to palm kernel fatty acid in the sandalwood (this would be superfat, which does matter) and fragrance ingredient differences. In tur...

I never did try a Futur. The Mergress is the only razor I wish I had back. That said, my Rockwell with plate 4 or 5 does everything I want. Come to think of it, I never sampled through most of the Merkur line. The 1904 and the barberpole were the only ones from the brand that I tried other than the ...

Yes, I’ve tried several recipes and they’ve been successful. I’m a big fan of Chris Kimball, the force behind Milk Street, and loved his previous cooking programmes, America’s Test Kitchen and Cooks Country, which he founded. I’ve they’re greatly diminished since he left so I was most pleased when ...

Still shaving daily, albeit a bit later than previously. Tomorrow is my first day back to a sort-of normal work schedule (online teaching for the duration of the semester), so I think I'll gravitate back to early rising, my daily run, oatmeal, shower, and then coffee and a shave...before kicking off...

Is there any of this soap still out there in the shave universe? I've decided I would love to try it if I could get hold of some.

Sounds like a terrific soap, Chris. I'm very fond of olive oil in bar soaps. It is reluctant to trace, to be sure. My standard bar soap uses tallow, lard, olive oil, and coconut oil, but I have found that an 80/20 olive/coconut soap is very nearly the best of pure castile with a less slimy and more ...

John, not yet, but I'm working on it.
