Bummer, I guess that makes sense you can't even send it to your US address -- mailing alcohol still comes with restrictions that everyone ignores even within the US!

Excellent shave. This razor seems to be in some sort of sweet spot and I'm getting very smooth results.

I do love the Chiseled Face base. It's just soap, and it does soap stuff really well.

Last day to enter this PIF! https://sub.wetshaving.social/post/3055243

Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio

A new artiste, and a dupe of Killian Dark Lord. The scent is Dark Lord adjacent - not as strong and missing a tad bit of depth, but it's still worth smelling.

That's the first I've heard about Reese's Pieces... I'll have to look for that next time I use mine.

Great hotel shave. I'm glad to have options other than Arko, but I do love it sometimes.

You are, correct.

Oh, this experiment! Fun!

Interesting and relatively predictable results! I am a bit surprised that linen and/or leather can so easily bring hard steel back into shape. Perhaps if you really pushed it, say, for 2 months, then stropping would be less effective. Time for an experiment!
