I have very dry skin, and it seems to help with that. Other than that, at some time in the past, I fell for a greatly reduced 300ml tub of preshave, and I used it because I had it. And somehow I got used to it 🤷

Quartidi 24 Nivôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Cuivre

• Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
• Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
• Razor: Thiers-Issard 188 7/8 ‘Coq et Renard’
• Lather: Le Père Lucien Bay Rum
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Zingari Man Mousse Illuminée Recovery Splash
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I got two samples with my order from LPL, among which Bay Rum. I never tried any bay rum scented product, so I was excited! I rather enjoy the scent, though I get some slight tingeling on my face – probably not for me!

Have a good day!

That is very kind of you – let me think about it. Ideally, I’d have a sausage-sauerkraut flavored soap 😜

Thanks 👍

Whiskey-labeled soaps who end up smelling like smoked sausages

Public service question: which one is/are these?

The aftershave was also unscented, except for the fact that I dumped a sample of Roman Spice into it, so it actually smells like Roman Spice.

Now that I think about it, that kind of makes sense.

• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (17)
• Lather: Le Père Lucien Traditionnel
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I received a mail today from Le Père Lucien (4 shaving soaps and an after-shave; I will not be able to kill 4 soaps this year, I’m afraid…), and I also got a smush of his Traditionnel soap. So why not start with this one? First impressions: It provides a good and protective lather, but the smell reminded me disturbingly of a Bouquet Garni that I would put into soup.

Official scent notes: Lavender, eucalyptus, thyme, rosmary

~Now that I see it, I should have listened to Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkel while shaving.~

Excellent shave with the 1912.

Have a good evening!

Somehow, I woke up with razor burn on my neck that wasn’t there when I went to sleep…

Maybe tell your wife that you already shaved? 😎

Obligatory link: no evidence that using a parachute helps prevent injuries when jumping out of planes

Mine arrived today, thanks!

Yesterday’s peach from A&E Peach & Cognac is the exception that proves the rule

Heaving a heavy hand when it comes to scent is sometimes an advantage!

I learned from watching the equivalent of the Great British Bake-Off that blueberry and peach are extremely delicate aromas, and that they will be covered by almost anything else. Seems that this is true not only in pastry!

This was a test-shave for my new hone of the Parker – which worked rather well. I had used the La Lune natural stone, and it is both sharp, and comfortable.

Have a good day!

You can do it (just send djunior out to play in the snow for a couple of hours)

Your plugin just uses org mode tables for this, right?

Yes - that’s it. Unless I get a huge den, or don’t rotate the logs, that should be sufficient for me. But you might just as well go for a real database!
