  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Jack - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Very close shave today. The light, citrusy vibe of Jack is a perfect fit for the weather we're having today; mid 80's (~30°C) and humid. There's even a friggin' air quality alert.

I haven't used this Ralf Aust for a while. It has been sitting in pile of razors that need an edge refresh. I got to that last night, hit record on the camera, and made a video.

I have a dwindling pile of razors to do, and as you can tell, there's no planning. I just hit "record" and start rambling. You probably won't see another razor honing video for a while. I promised a friend to do a knife sharpening tutorial, and need to get that done.
