The weather was rather cool in Canberra today, perfect conditions for Skye Fall.

Hey Sooky Cry Baby, what's the loft height on the Dogwood Handcrafts - "Neon Lights" - 26mm Zenith Boar and how many hairs have you've lost so far.

By the way you need you to change your smelly 2018 nappies to 2019 before you stink too much throughout the whole year, happy new year baby face.

I'll have to check when I get home but I believe its somewhere around 55-58mm. Why would I change it Mr. Fast Rat, when 2019 will be exactly like 2019 ?

Bowl: Peirera Shavery unbreakable shave bowl
Soap: Squadron's Dutch Resistance

Mmm licorice...First head shave with the Omnishaver and it was nice and simple. Value for $$$ as I shouldn't need to replace it for awhile but prefer the results of a DE or Headblade Moto Happy shaves!

I think I absolutely nailed the CB soap this morning with the first time I’d used the Yaqi Mysterious Space brush with it. Loads of creamy yoghurt like lather that seemed to let me get the BBS- effortlessly. A small neck patch a little teeny bit stubbly but everywhere else, exceptional!

Something new I’m doing with this soap since it’s in the mug, is not rinsing each day. I normally do as I like the soap to look nice but I’m not sure it aids anything to rinse it down.

It was, aside from when I checked the weather at 3pm and it said 24C and 95% humidity...and it wasn't raining.

That ain't a straight but a smiling assassin
Explains the styptic pencil use. Looks evil and fun to use too
Is easier or harder to use and maintain than a straight razor?
