Recycled image but really enjoying this setup. GRreat performance from the razor+blade and the provides slick lather, although the scent is a bit too sweet compared to the other range...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

no worries.. there are lots of people who enjoy a balm, but i tend to stay away as most I have tried (except for the neurtogena) come off as oily for me so tend not to use them. But if you come up with a splash (especially lavender) i'll be in with that one.

Also I a hanging out to smell the LUST soap, the combination of Rose Geranium, Patchouli and Vanilla sounds delicious, and if this proves to be the case would love to splash that on my face :)

Regardless whether witch hazel is alcohol or not, in these circles, all that matters is whether it can be sent overseas on the cheap.
Take Southern Witchcrafts splash, it’s witch hazel based and able to be posted from Maggards to wherever with no added hoops, so for artisan purposes, safe to consider as non-alcoholic.

No idea what the alcohol supply globally is these days, but I’m sure it’s not cheap and easy to source either. If it were me, I’d make a toner style to begin with, and sus out the implications of getting alcohol only if you think it was worthwhile.

You are spot on. The Witch Hazel is not considered alcohol so therefore it is not a problem sending throughout the world.

I am impressed daily by the efficiency and smoothness of Hawk v3 OC. It has been a lesson in the "gentle touch" absolutely no pressure and just letting the razor glide over face.
The Hawk v3 has provided best shave to date for WTG over the jawbone and down the neck. Where I usually feel a bit awkward with the change in angles. The teeth of the Hawk provide protection as you go over the edge and ride the cap under the chin, guiding you straight into the perfect angle. Shave 6 and was surprised the P-30 got a burr and not one I could easily recover from. So it got binned and onto Kai Pink tomorrow.
