Shaving With Nothing But The Base

Today I felt like using nothing, nothing but the base. I had this bottle of aftershave, Spices From the Sea, which smells like Old Spice. I didn’t have any of its shaving soap left, so if I use a soap with no fragrance, the only thing that you will notice is the aftershave.

This strategy seemed to work out perfectly once I was done with the shave I quickly applied the aftershave and presto Old Spice. I have to say it's a good match to the original. Sadly as I explained in the video I'm having an awful time getting everything I need to make this scent I may not be able to reproduce it again for a while both the aftershave and shaving soap are now out of stock.

I want to talk about a Netflix limited series I watched last week called Adolescence ​"Adolescence" is a British crime drama miniseries that premiered on Netflix on March 13, 2025. The four-episode series centers on 13-year-old Jamie Miller, who is arrested for the murder of his classmate, Katie Leonard. The narrative delves into the influences of social media, incel culture, and societal pressures on young men. ​

The series was co-created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, with Graham also portraying Jamie's father, Eddie. Newcomer Owen Cooper plays Jamie, while Christine Tremarco stars as his mother, Manda. Each episode is uniquely filmed in a single continuous take, enhancing the immersive experience. ​

"Adolescence" has received widespread critical acclaim, boasting a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have lauded its bold storytelling, compelling performances, and its unflinching examination of contemporary issues affecting youth.
