Yup, like us also a believer in "progressive stropping", may be hooey, but I enjoy it and it works for me.....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Outback, another great shape choice of those big skins sir. Nice slender taper..
Nice work men,

Thanks, Mike.
They got plenty of sanding to go, and I ran out of paper.. DAMMIT!!

Hopefully, I won't end up throwing the stone in the backyard....

Outback - yes, got the Givenchy soap and it's the exact match for my old aftershave...awesome find and thanks. Love the stuff.

Throw it hard.!!!
Maybe it'll land in mine, safely. [emoji56]

I tend to eat the beavers, when they get that close. Can't do much else in one of those shacks. [emoji38]

By the way Phrank..did you get the Mama's bear, soap.?

I want to try a Coti as well and the small ones are in my price range. Plus I'm used to tiny hones so... I want one

Hone a razor, shave a beaver, and then felt a hat.

Eat the beaver in between....

Hmmm--

Well holidays are over but i did finally try out my Bayrum. I put it in a soya sauce bottle after washing it many times to remove the smell. Turns out my wife likes it as she kept telling everyone that I had made it. Either that or she was just trying to tell everyone how nuts I am
As ot the Bayrum itself its very nice smell not too strong not too light but it doesnt seem to linger for too long. Then again the Bayrum that I bought doesnt seem to linger that long either and is way lighter to start with.
It did come out very dark that is for sure, almost looks like soy sauce

I do like the making your own aftershave idea. I have essential oils as well. I'm sure an adventure in aftershave making is in my future. I marked down the recipe. It is unlikely I will actually follow it though, I am not very good with instructions. I wonder what would give it more staying power?
