I am not certain. Another member here saw that I very much enjoy the Portuguese products, and offered me a stick he found in Madeira at the back of a pharmacy shelf. So fortunate to acquire it! Tallow product with a warm spice scent. The Claus Porto shop in Porto has a few on display. I can’t imagine being lucky enough to find one in a store in Portugal now.

50s-60s?
No.
No. It's just been a very bright day over here today. But I'm really tempted to polish it one day...

Semogue Saturdays!
Hello friends
Cold Saturday for our standards. Perfect for roses. MdC Rose and Penhalingon’s Hammam Bouquet inspired me. Greencult 2.0 IV, GSB (3) and Semogue Pegasus Mistura. What a team, friends! I finished with Floïd Mentolado Suave.
In this memorable event, the magnificent Etta Jones in an album for the desert island.

Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #4

Four weepers today, only. That's a good result for me and my face
The Timeless Bronze .78 OC is a beautyful razor. But it's my most aggressive razor (it's sneaky in terms of biting without further warning)... I would have sold it already if there wasn't the .38 baseplate which hopefully will suit me way better. As some might recall I'm eagerly awaiting a friend of mine to import the plate to Germany. Bought the plate back in 2023.
I hope everyone's enjoying a relaxed Sunday!
Cheers, Comrades!
