How’s the bloody dog @Holiday

Good to be back @SpeedyPC the cold spell does not last long in the tropics and a cold water shave is much more comfortable in the humidity

If you have a dependable straight razor technique (angle/pressure) no fear with this baby!

Moriarty would slit your bloody throat, if, had the chance with that creepy deadly edgy shave.

Round 2 with the Claymore Evolution. Brand new Schick Proline blade, a different handle, and a familiar soap improved the shave, but not enough to dethrone my Hawk. I'll give it another shave with a KAI Pink and a lighter, longer handle and call it quits I think.

Timeless 95
Gillette 7 O'clock SE
Omega 10098
Blue Devil Lavender
Olive Oil + Thayer's Lavender

Sensational

This time I held back on my urge of 'more is better' and only added 6 drops Olive oil + 6 drops water (instead of the 12+12 I been using) and like @SpeedyPC and @alfredus said too much is too much!!!

This amount absorbed fully into my skin and in half the time, the addition of the witch hazel was just the cherry on top..

I've been on the EVOO trial for a week as well but because my skin is naturally a bit oily have just been using 2-3 drops each water & oil and after emulsifying massaging into the back of the hands before face because my hands need it more than my face

I find the chilli infused EVOO really brings out the rosy cheeks

I think it might just make me hungry.

This was tonight's dinner: boiled szechuan fish in chilli. The liquid you see here is mostly chillies. Yum...

Soap: Westman Utopia
Razor: Rex Ambassador (2.5)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Spoiler (7)

What sets the scent of Utopia apart from many similar tobacco/vanilla/warm woods variants is the very pure and authentic tobacco note.

So what kind of tobacco? Latakia? Maduro? Good to see your WA products being supported. I have a jacket I bought in Albany over 20 years ago that someone had scented with Mt Romance sandalwood, and I can still smell it whenever I use the jacket. That's longevity for you...
