What soap/cream did you use today?

To compensate for the lack of traditional shaving items in today's gear, I'm dropping some photos from the beautiful city of Prague (Czech Republic).

It's like we're walking through the 1980s again! All that's missing is the INXS soundtrack. Thanks for the memories, Adrian!

After an over two month hiatus…Ethos Colonia in F was a very welcome morning treat…

Glad to bring back pleasant memories, Bouki.

Yesterday I said A&E K2e was "really really good" (and GD Kairos SE was tops). Well, I used a K2e today and it was really really fantastic.

Great place. Architecture, beer, history, ladies - have fun!

Cedarwood & Clary Sage Cream

This cream made a stupendous thick, slick lather. I have a backup jar as the scent is really uplifting. Glass jar packaging is another nice feature.

King of Oud (Wholly Kaw) apple oud

There is such a thing as natural oud oil, but it costs a fortune. We’re talking thousands of dollars per kilo. At that price, it’s not likely that any of the real stuff finds its way into most of our “oud” shaving soaps. Instead our artisans use a blend of synthetic and natural ingredients to create an olfactory representation of what oud smells like.

Feel gipped? Don’t. Have you ever seen a picture of Van Gogh’s sunflowers. It’s beautiful. But how many real sunflowers have been mixed into the paint. None. So is it phony? Well, no, of course not. It’s simply a representation of what the artist saw. And sometimes it's possible that what the artist represents is even more appealing, and beautiful, and valuable than the original. In 1987 Van Gogh’s oil painting of a vase of sunflowers sold for forty million.
