King of Oud t. (Wholly Kaw) sweet oud
Shave 13 ・ 78% left
It finally happened. I gave myself a full pass without a blade. I was so caught up in making a perfect lather I forgot to put the Astra into the Tech. It was gorgeous lather, something HoosierShave would have given me a merit badge for. And when I made that first bladeless pass, I was really congratulating myself for having finally made a world-class lather. Just as smooth and slick as silk, it fell away in ribbons like I was slicing the peel off a papaya. Then I noticed the stubble on my chin. I tried buffing, but it wouldn’t budge. Only then did it dawn on me that I had overlooked an important step. I put the blade in. Passes two and three were more efficient, but humbling.

Was pressed for time last week, however this one needs no introduction. Can’t find a better “true” Bay Rum than Sir Henry’s
If you think you have a better one….show me
Absolutely stunning artwork there. You got skills.
