Reporting on my shave yesterday, in the sweltering heat. I didn’t spend enough time lathering, and the result could have been better – massive feedback with the aftershave.

Nice pic!
- Comment on Safety Razors are amazing 1 week ago:
I was still using foam from a can (also from Boldking since they don’t use parabens), but I’m looking to upgrade to a better foam, with a brush.
You probab!y want to get a small (24 mm) synthetic brush

Secnding this: you don’t know how good your face can feel until you have used a good shaving soap. My skin also tnds to be very dry to atopic, and it agrres very well with soaps containing lanolin or milk. Definitely worth trying!

It’s been a rather unconfortable day here (my weather app reports 39 degree Celsius, with a current temperature at 22:15 of 34 degrees). Tomorrow will be the same. Absinthe was good, and the combination with Electric Sheep is not bad at all. However, the refreshment was rather limited.
I’ll go and get a cold shower. Have a good evening!

That’s how it should be! Waltzing at the wedding leads to happy marriage ( I don’t have the study at hand, butit must be somewhere) 😎

:** For today’s song I picked Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver. My wife and I danced to this song at our wedding for our first dance. We spent a couple of months taking dance lessons and practicing a choreographed routine. Not something I thought I’d ever do, that’s for sure.
No waltz at the wedding? If the Austrian ministry of culture learns of this outrage, you can expect a visit of the GeWaPo (secret waltz police).

This rose soap is really good, and it is getting better every time I use it. I don’t know exactly how this works, but it is what it is.
Have a good night!

The razor is very sharp, but not that confortable. I should probably do something about that.
Have a good day.

And it’s already Messidor, summer has begun! And truly, it’s 🥵
Electric sheep is a clear summer scent, and I felt mildly refreshed – even though this didn’t last very long.
Have a good evening!

Well, it is still sold, but it is no longer rum - since it is a herbal decoction, and not based on sugar cane.
- Comment on Thursday SOTD Thread, June 19th, 2025 (#737) 2 weeks ago:
Only 53% in the Absinthe? Wiibrschnaps!
Clearly doesn’t compare to 80% Stroh Rum (which cannot be sold as rum anymore, because EU).

Absinthe is really a great scent, and I’m very happy to have tried it (and also the MdC base). Excellent shave.
Have a good night!

It was 34 degrees today in Paris, and this is starting to get into the area where life becomes uncomfortable. But we will get some storms tonight (which should hit soon), and it should get fresher. Anyways, I refreshed myself with Electric Sheep, which for me is a very nice summer soap.
Have a good night!

Since it is the day of honeysuckle, I chose to try Rose de Pushkar. The owner of Le Père Lucien claims it is his favorite scent (the fact that his wife developed it might be not unrelated), and it is one of his best selling ones. It is very rose-dominant – expectedly – and I like it, even though I don’t love it (yet). It is in the same line as Narcisse, so I expected the bases to be similar, but this one is much softer than Narcisse.
I heavily overloaded and could have shaved the cat with the remaining soap. It was always my dream to upgrade her to a sphinx cat, but my wife for some reason doesn’t like them, even though they are clearly and objectively the best breed of cats.
Have a good night!

Here’s one of my assistants criticizing the desk situation.
You have several of those? My cat obviously is assisted by me, and not the other way round.
