    • Frag: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm EdP

    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.

        I totally mistyped there – I meant to say that this balm and artisan are new to me. Meaning Ginger’s Garden. I’m not sure whether CF was part of the prize list.

        I agree though, Chiseled Face is one of my favorites. I get a great lather with their base every time.

    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 Mood Indigo. 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.

    Friday, October 18, 2024: Ash on Friday

    There is some message hidden in there somewhere

    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!

    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.

        I’ll get the calipers.

        Given our recent discussions and the agreed-upon approximation we could get away from the angle discussion and use to the thickness/width ratio going forward. No irrational numbers involved here, just a caliper and rule
