I’m sure the soap smells like lemony piss motor oil.

SOTN 18.6.22
/ Oumo Cove G5
/ Caties Bubbles Irish Whiskey
/ Aristocrat 58
/ Euromax (2)
/ The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA
/ Nivea Skin & Stubble

I enjoyed the Irish Whiskey, though it’s certainly not a complex scent . Could be my imagination but I had that similar feel at the back of the throat after a sip of a neat single malt. Soap performance was good, but wouldn’t say top tier.

 

[Monocero]

Traditional shave.

That sounds utterly terrible. I know it's bad form to quote myself (from here), but I'm going to do it anyway...
"...There had been a fight. I had punched her boyfriend, who fought the mechanical bulls. Everyone told him, "You ride the bull, señor. You do not fight it." But he was lean and tough like a bad rib-eye and he fought the bull. And then he fought me. And when we were done there were no winners, just men doing what men must do..."

TroyCraft Olympiakos 24mm 2-Band Badger
Blue Devil LUST soap/splash

Another 5 days growth shave for me, which is quite significant for me. Decided to give this setup a good test with minimal prep.. No shower, no trimming, just a light splash of warm water on the face before the shave. Have to say this is an incredibly smooth and efficient combo. Started with a WTG on the upper face, which was so smooth I tried a full ATG on the neck on first pass.. wow!! no tugging, just a smooth efficient pass.. and this scent is just amazing.

I'll have to grab the LUST balm and Lavender splash when available... @CraigE any idea when stocks may be available?

Hey mate,

Going to be honest here.

Unfortunately the Balm was taking some time to arrive and due to losing an order because of that, I decided to cancel the balm altogether.

With the website costing me money to run and due to my current health I will be taking a step back a bit. What this means for Blue Devil Shave Co. is something that will be decided shortly.

I was hoping to be able to keep everything running, how ever sales are so far down at the moment, that I am not sure where it's going to be as of the end of this month.

Keep you're eyes peeled, remaining stock will be extremely cheap.

That's sad news. I really hope your health improves and everything gets back on track for you. It would be a shame to lose another great Aussie artisan.
