After a day of cutting wood, what facial scrub do you prefer?

Question 2. What beverage did you spew onto your computer screen after reading the topic?

 

Hmm, haven't cut any wood in about 2 years, but a splash of water on the face seems to work pretty gooder.
The water/sawdust mixture should scrub off just about anything, especially if there's nice little chunks in it.

 

I take a shower after cutting wood all day.

Then my wife brings me a beverage. I don't spit that out.

 

Well I used to use this stuff labeled “every man Jack”. Don’t touch that....!

Anyways this stuff had orange smell and like those beads for a scrub. I wish it were more pumice than the beads. So I stopped using it since it created a pain for waste companies for waste water. Thinking ecologically here. Also if it doesn’t break down it can clog my pipes a little at a time too. I’m happy with using a bar soap called Duke Cannon, big bar and has some scrub in it sorta.

 

Loofa!!!

 

Petrified wood always works for me. Opens up the pores really good.

 

Sawdust works great for me. I still don't look a day over 55.

 

none
and

#wildwest your really on to something.

How's this for a slogan. "For the manly man that doesn't know how to act like a man!"

I do think a soap with a cedar sent would be nice.

 

Oh let me be first to test it!

 

Sounds good Dakota Hoarder. It could be a new FHC product aimed at millenials called no hope soap on a rope. Blended with all sorts of pretty smelling ingredients.

 

Pretty???! Well, we do like to bring in the lassies who love wood smellin’ doin’ fellers...

 

Wait a minute... Where the hell am I?

 

No joke, I use lava soap in bar form

 

I have a daily diary of my Great-Great Grandfather who was a Camp Boss for Great Northern Paper up to the Katadin Iron Works area. It was interesting to read what life was like in the camps as some loggers were actually well groomed and insisted upon cleanliness, and some did not. In fact some were known to have gone through winter, and at the conclusion of spring break up, found they had several more clothes on then what they thought they did! Other facets of logging during that era (when they stayed in camps for much of the winter with little outside contact), was interesting as well. It really was no different then as it was today: some people want to work, many did not.

An interesting side note: he was murdered by some timber trespassers in 1898 as he was seeking legal action against them.

 

As for me...I am well groomed, that is I like my daily shower, twice on some days, and am clean shaven all year.

But knowing you guys, and where your mind goes; you don't give 3 cents about my grooming habits, but probably have wondered about Katie's...and since she has some 84 pairs of shoes, it is easy to figure out she has loofas, peach apricot jasmine body wash, and perfume that costs more per bottle then the gross national product export of Nepal. However, the degree of shaving shall remain unspoken.

 

After a moment of careful reflection, and to answer the question honestly...that is...

I would have to say bark.

I don't think there is a hand-faller alive who does not at least once a day accidentally rake his saw along the edge of a tree upon making the angle cut on the front notch and blast their face with a spray of sawdust. Sissies wear helmets with face guards, but real loggers use that 3/8 chips of bark and sawdust to exfoliate the facial skin to a nice buff and shine, while adding that essential Vitamin D from the sun that is so inadequate during the winter.

So yes, I use bark propelled at 14,000 RPM.

 

Dr. Squatch pine tar soap. Wifey likes the pine scented soap. I usually get a couple bars in my stocking.

 

Good point. There's a number of folks here that cut, that are of the female persuasion.

Black Birch and sassafras scents should be part of the product line.
