An Omega of death has formed in my soap. I'm not that confident anymore that I will finish this soap in 2024, but the end is close.
Have a good day!

I didn't notice it when the tub was new, but after using it yesterday I started to notice the same sort of volatile hit that I get when I take the lid off of
MoodIndigo. I don't think it's a base funk, because I don't get it with Tobacconist or Santa Noir, so maybe it's the same accord used in both scents. It's honestly not that pleasant of a smell, but it dissipates pretty quickly, allowing the rest of the scent through. And what a great scent U&I(WD) is.Fri Oct 18 2024

Eh, this one wasn't it. I just refreshed that edge, but it pulled ATG. Back on the to-hone pile it goes.
I remember I've had trouble this razor before. Something about it makes it difficult for me to get a smooth sharp edge.
Swedish steel tends to be harder. I’d be interested to know what the sharpening/bevel angle is on that razor :)

Just a beautiful shave this morning. Summer Storm always brings me back to being in the desert during a thunderstorm. Makes me miss living in New Mexico.
This balm and artisan is new to me and was one of the prizes I won in the children's cancer raffle. Nice menthol level, good ingredients, and left my skin feeling great!
Have a great one y'all, we made it to the weekend! ✌️
I didn't even notice Chiseled Face in the prize list. I really like Chiseled Face. Some people say the soap base isn't good, but I think it's great.
