Sunday, May 26, 2024: Sunday again!


I underhydrated the lather in the beginning, and it was not as slick as it could have been. And I continue to use this soap in spite of the scent rather than because of it.

Have a nice day!

I continue to use this soap in spite of the scent rather than because of it.

Ouch! Not a fan of leather, plum, tobacco, and the smell of the universe's inexorable march to heat death?

Ouch++;

@PorkButtsNTaters666 Entropy Man’s fragrance stumped me for the first couple of uses, then I had an “aha” moment with it. Now it is a scent I need to have available.

Plus, @djundjila and I think it is Sri’s nod to Boltzmann; literally the entropy man. I chatted for a while with Sri at the Maggard Meetup but forgot to ask him about this. At some point I will.

@djundjila mentionned it was sweet, but Ididn't expect this kind of scent 🤷

I enjoy Narcisse by Le Père Lucien, which is also based on tobacco, but it's a much more floral take. I'll see what the future brings

I agree. The plum note in the scent was a stroke of genius IMHO.
