sunday shower...

I didn't mean to post two "sunday shower" posts back to back... guess I was a bit slacking on reviews this week! Ah, well. Soon to come, I promise! Anyway, here is what I lathered up with today:

Shampoo: Nature's Gate Shampoo in "Tea Tree"

Conditioner: Get Lathered Solid Hair Conditioner Bar in "Lemon Curd"

Body Soap: Cellar Door Soap Co. "Rosemary Mint" Soap

Shaving Soap: Mad City Soap "Fresh Snow" Parfait Soap and then switched to Sudsy Soap Scents "Banana Pudding" Cream Soap

Face Soap: Product Body "Fat Boy" Soap

Cleanser: Sweet Creek Herbal Care Facial Butter Bar in "Unscented" 


Did all this result in a satisfying shower?

In general, I did enjoy this shower. I was all stinky from working out this morning! I recently joined the gym... which is why I'm always having to shave my legs now. Bah. But anyway, I was super looking forward to the cleanliness a shower would provide. 

And in my testings of good shaving products (without actually having to buy a shaving soap), I thought I'd try cream soaps today. I had a Mad City Soap cream soap sitting around in Creme Vanille that I've been waiting to use, and today was the day! But alas, I accidentally grabbed the one that I was going to give away. I didn't particularly care for the scent, but I had already opened it in the shower so I thought I'd give it a chance. The Fresh Snow scent was not at all to my liking and that is why I switched over to using my sis-in-law's Sudsy Soap Scents cream soap. The banana pudding scent was very real and pleasant.

Another note, the Mad City Soap turned out not to be a good shaving soap anyway. That leg was left itchy. Bah. So the search continues through my crap load of products for a good shaving soap. The rest of my shower was fairly pleasant. I got to get all lather-happy with minty minty soap.

Working on some reviews for this next week! Hopefully I'll actually be able to get them up this time - grad school is time consuming! Ah, life.

Hope you all had pleasant showers (or baths)!

sunday shower...

Tonight I took a loooong shower! Here is what I used:

Shampoo: Nature's Gate Shampoo in "Tea Tree"

Conditioner: Mad City Soap Deep Conditioner in "Mexican Vanilla"

Body Soap: Cellar Door Soap Co. "Eucalyptus Spearmint" Soap

Shaving Soap: Product Body "Fat Boy" Soap

Face Soap: Product Body "Fat Boy" Soap

Cleanser: Sweet Creek Herbal Care Facial Butter Bar in "Unscented"


Did all of this result in a satisfying shower?

To be perfectly honest, I did not quite enjoy my shower tonight. Sure, I had some fairly new and perfectly delightful goodies in the shower with me, but I also had to shave my legs. Ugh ugh ugh. (And you're probably laughing now...). I absolutely hate shaving my legs and it's been an embarrassingly long time since I last shaved and now was the time to bite the bullet. The Fat Boy soap was decent enough for shaving, although my legs were a bit itchy afterwards.

And to whine just a bit more, I am dissatisfied with my shampoo options. I've been switching out between two and my hair is just not liking either of them. I have a great conditioner, but it can only take me so far. Hopefully the deep conditioning I did tonight will help. Bah. BUT, my new minty soap helped cheer me up a bit - it's so refreshing! And I am in love with the facial butter bar! Expect a review within a few days for that!

And because I can't think of any other conclusion at the moment, in the words of my 4 year old nephew, "Happy Trails!"
