Yeah I’ve used them to good effect on winter hikes in the mountains.
Dang, so close to glory.

Tabac saves me from an airbud today, although I might have a sample of Mediterranean Man around here somewhere that would have worked.
Always a fuss-free shave with Tabac, and the scent is just so pleasant. A great start to my day.

I suspect you will, they’re very nice razors once you learn how to use them.
It was very enjoyable!

The challenge soap today is Chicago Grooming Company — Lavender. It was easy enough to find a soap in my den that has lavender as a note!
This was also my first shave with the new-to-me Fleur de France. It's a really nice scent, I might try to hunt down a matching splash as well at some point.

Did you not engage at all on Friday?
To be clear I’m not pointing out a rules infraction. I just want you to have all your points. :)
I’d be happy to send you a few blades if you haven’t found a source for fewer than 100.
Feel free to reach out on Matrix if you’re interested.
Nice, that’s a good looking handle!
No pictures of the brush!? 🧐

I'm very impressed with this Old Type razor. Three passes, BBS everywhere except for right under my jawline (which is usually the hardest spot for me to get), zero irritation. Definitely glad I picked this thing up.
Lavanille is always a treat to shave with as well.
