On top topic of soaps....
I find that Ivory dries out the skin. Ivory for those who wonder is very basic formula that uses largely unadulterated base ingrediants and pulls more moisture out of the skin then most other soaps. The trade off is that it is a mild formula versus regular soaps but if you have jungle skin like me it will leave it very dry after a shower.
The most mild soaps you can get are simple glycerin bars. Glycerin soap maintains natural oils which many regular style soaps will eat away at and strip away.
Black soap is superior if you can find it. Make sure that it is legit and natural. It should look like a mound of shit in all honesty.
It is unrefined soap fragments or it is pressed into a bar or ball:
This version is a blend and isn't 100% pure:
That black soap with a glycerin bar should be to go to for each day. Hemp based soaps are very good as well.
For lotion...
Shea Butter is the best. But.... it has a "woodsy" smell to white girls.
I don't mind it as that is what my mother would put in her hair and my sisters hair growing up so I am used to the raw smell of it and I find it quite soothing. But I have had a few bumpkin white girls comment on it. City girls know about Shea Butter but they get the blended stuff that has lavender or some shit in it (easy scam that all those Rasta dudes do is take a little nugget of shea butter and cross it with base lotion, glycerin, and essential oil and mark it up x100 in price.).
Shea is not easy for each day as it is stable and not soft or liquid so you have to cut it with a carrier oil. I would use liquid coconut oil, castor oil, and then add murh and peppermint to it. It is easy to make a big batch of it but once I run out of that I just use regular coconut oil.
For cologne I don't wear it all the time. But I recommend just looking for the source oils of your favorite kind. Cologne is just water down source oil and they mark it up x100% to make profits. You can find the base and source oil of the fragrance which is very strong and you just add a pinky dab on your neck and arms and it will last all day.
eBay should have most mainstream company fragrances. If Sephora has a very close copy of the Tom Ford then the formula has gotten out and you will find hybrids or exact remakes online for sale.

In the short time frame when I had my pad ready to go for bangs I would have a very orderly system.
I had a bottle of Vodka in my freezer with mixes of Cranberry and diet coke, sprite, etc in my fridge.
I always had a backup pair of clean sheets under my bed that I would swap quickly.
I would have ready youtube videos or music ready to go on my iPod doc
I would throw any dirty laundry in my dryer and close it.
I would bring out a spare toothbrush still in its wrapper and I would crack a fresh bottle of Listerine and swap out my own down below.
This whole process would take less then 45mins to put into place. The next day you work to re-load your stash and the system for the next time.
My place would look the exact same for any new girl coming through. It became like clockwork the script I would run that would lead to the bang.
