Christmas Swag

As well as far too many dried orange slices, I also received a tube of this

It’s a kind of heavy oily substance which replaces the traditional brush + soap.

Two tiny spodges, spread very thinly, then shave as normal.

Once you cut past the hipster marketing-speak it’s surprisingly effective.

‘Urban Jack’ lotion eh? :wink:

Uh huh. It’s a revolution as well.

Shaving oil. Not new. When I was still wet-shaving and travelling with just hand baggage for work it was handy as you could get it in tiny bottles which didn’t raise any eyebrows (pun in there somewhere ?) at airport security.

It’s a serum not an oil :wink:

Honestly I just use normal soap or even cooking oil. Whatever is in the house. I never buy something marketed for shaving. Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know.

Lidl / Aldi shaving gel is brilliant.

A lovely new telly, but a shit photo of it:

No, he’s got the phone camera on ‘cleavage photo bomb’ mode.

Looks good. Sadly, that new series of The Expanse isn’t going to be any better through a nice Telly. It was crap.

One guy on the shaving forum I look at :pensive: posted up his recent blade haul. I worked out if he used a blade a week he had just bought enough to last him 18 years… And he already has a good couple of thousand already.

That’s almost as bad as having 80 bottles of gin :wink:

Have you got a powerful SDS drill. You need one. Just dont do what I did. Thankfully it was an internal wall

Yeah probably, it’s just that I get by with anything that creates a film. I think we all pick and choose stuff to be like this about…maybe.
