Hope that this will have been her last chemo (in a long life)!

I got none of the smoke and leather.

must have been confiscated by Swiss customs

It was not the supercreamy lather I got from Old Strathcona, but it was good, not outstanding. But I don’t hahe it dialed in, and with all the hype surrounding HoM, it’s difficult to see how I could not have been a bit disappointed if I didn’t find it the best thing since the invention of fire 🤷

It is Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club again! I was very excited about this one, because I had never before used a House of Mammoth soap. The smell I could identify was essentially leather and smoke, but the whole thing being rounder than in Oro Valley.

What they say about it:

The perfume accomplishes an extraordinary balancing act between dark and light, opening with airy vegetation and water and gradually descending into dark earth before, impossibly, becoming light, fragile, and delicate. The timeline of the wear is like a pulse, a heartbeat, a vibration, a life.

Yeah. It reminded me of Fumoir des Anges by Annette Neuffer, but less brutal with the smoke.

I thought since they are heavy on smoke, the Stag would complement it well – but I don’t know: the Stag is for me distinctly blue-collar, maybe proletarian, and this one clearly isn’t. Maybe after all, I did get the light, fragile and delicate part of the scent. And who would have thought, it is very fitting for the day, since it contains truffle notes, and today is the day of the truffle in the French calendar!

This is a scent that did not immediately vibe with me, but I believe that there are very good chances that it would grow on me if I bought the full tub 🤔

Thanks to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social for this smush!

Have a good evening!

Yes it is!

Nice pic 😍

A quick shave with the R41, always a pleasure. And I should use this big synthetic more often.

Boat Boker 🤣🤣

My honor is at stake!

The magnets in the Tedalus are very strong, and its not as easy with it to properly align the blade.

I don’t smell much, so it’s difficult to say something about Famine – it lacks the herb notes from Plague, but otherwise, it’s the same base scent.

Have a good night!

I have the Tedalus Essence, which is a good shaver. But I must say that for all the cleverness of a magnetic fixation, I prefer the good old mechanical pinching.

That’s very kind of yôû, but I think I will try to fix it myself.

I believe that I’m the first one here to have conquered death. Anyway, it was only a sample, so nothing to brag about.

Have a good night!

It has probably been produced hre-COVID

No, that’s my own, unfortunately.

I managed to eat for lunch mayonnaise that has been expired for 3 years. Obviously, I chose death. The Koraat after some more stropping is not too bad - maybe it will smooth out further.

Have a good evening!
