    Mama Bear Orange Orange - Semogue 1520 - Deramaix Frameback - Nautica Blue



    I finally got around to giving the Deramaix a touch up as the edge was feeling pretty harsh. It feels better now so I hopefully I wont need to do it again for a while.

    Olive Oil Preshave, 1960 Fatboy @9, VDH Boar, Cella, Olive Oil, Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

    Conclusion: Extra Virgin Olive Oil rocks. It's good for pre-shave, super lather and post-shave and yes, there is a palpable difference between EVOO and regular olive oil. If shaving dries out your skin I would strongly recommend olive oil in your prep and post routine.

    Absolutely true! Olive oil is very good for your skin and has an excellent emollient effect. Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is the only one you should consider, especially when it is used as a condiment. And, yes, also for shaving and skin treatment. Extra virgin is the only one which can be considered as "sound" while the other ones are obtained with low quality techniques. Cold pressing and very fresh olives: this is one of the main quality factors in olive oil, although not the only one.
    Extra virgin olive oil über alles!
