I'm getting nostalgic – why did SW shut down? Valley of Ashes is so great. Good and smooth shave, and I again managed to spare the moustache area.
Have a good day!

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This trifecta is so good, it deserves a new release. I have received positive comments on this in public and even the dog (who often seems as if he has three heads) likes this scent.
I never got the chance to try Cerberus, so I very much agree that it deserves a new release.
Sounds like I should nominate it for a BVWSC Wednesday.

Another great shave to round out #rocktober 2025!

Great bunch of scents here.
I learned that https://razorbladesclub.com has resumed shipping to the USA at some point, so figured I didn't have to ration my Zorrik blades anymore.
I only did 2 passes since I might need a luxury shave tonight so I don't have to shave tomorrow morning. I'm giving an aviation presentation at an elementary school in the morning.

Great shave. This sheep tallow base is crazy slick, I like it a lot.
