Recycling past photo:
4th use of the Astra green blade. I think it’s had enough as isn’t cutting smooth.

The soap was squished back to cover the base of the tub 2 shaves ago and already can just about see the blue showing through the centre again. Not sure how much longer this will last. Maybe 2 weeks?

Semogue 1305,
Mitchells Wool Fat,
Yaqi OC/Ballend handle,
Feather,
Witch Hazel,
Viet Cheap'n' Smelly
First shave since Saturday so had a fair bit of growth to take care of.The Yaqi head and Feather handled the job with ease for a clean result after two passes.Still battling a lurgy that has been hanging around this area for a while,people have been getting crook,getting a bit better then crook again within a week.Probably some perpetually mutating bug from all the unwashed and unshaven f#cken ferals in Nimbin that they share via their unbrushed teeth and foetid breath in the hippie food shops drinking their soy milk dandelion coffees in Lismore which then gets spread to other communities.

How is the Storybook splash?

I was eyeing them up on maggards the other day and the splash says it's alcohol free so I guess it can be shipped here.

The "Hook" scent sounds awesome. The tea scented one sounds pretty interesting as well.
