  Usually I need a hot shower before shaving but had no time for that today. Apparently my choice of utensils was a good match for my skin today, no bloody spots at all! Just a tiny rash on the left side of my neck. Nice shave all in all, perfect start for the day.

  Nice, I found an even easier trick to make den searching work on Android. Just type in the first few letters and then space. Boom.

  Ubrique is leather heavy. If you like dark scents, it’s worth trying for sure.

  Silver Mountain Water was a birthday gift from my wife. The Stirling dupe is a favourite of mine, and I had been wanting to buy the original for quite some while, but never pulled the trigger. Wonderful shave, this.
