A Nordic Skies Shave


Today, we use Nordic Skies, which is a dupe of Drakkar, and I think it's pretty close if you ask me. I loaded the brush from the tub this time and had absolutely no problems. The lather was thick and creamy, allowing me to get really close with my Nano razor. I had no irritation, and the slickness and glide were great, and the post-shave feel was just amazing.

I watched on Apple TV something from 2023 called "Drops of God." It’s adapted from the popular Japanese manga of the same name by Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto and created for the screen by Quoc Dang Tran, with direction by Oded Ruskin. The series spans eight episodes and blends dialogue in French, Japanese, and English, reflecting its multinational production and rich cultural diversity.

Renowned wine critic Alexandre Léger, creator of the prestigious Léger Wine Guide, dies in Tokyo, leaving behind an extraordinary private wine collection and a sprawling estate. But inheriting his fortune isn’t straightforward.

White Lotus - New From Wet The Face


White LotusA Journey into Tranquility 

Wet The Face proudly presents White Lotus Shaving Soap, a fragrance inspired by elegance and tranquility. While its name nods to the popular TV series, that’s where the similarity ends — because this is an experience all its own.


From the very first lather, you’re welcomed by the refreshing calm of aloe vera and the bright, invigorating spark of crisp ginger. As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals a serene harmony of delicate white tea, transporting you to a place where time slows and the noise of the world fades away.

The journey deepens with creamy cedarwood and warm vanilla, wrapping around you like a soft embrace. Beneath it all lies the gentle floral elegance of lily, a soothing base that lingers long after your shave is done.


This isn’t just a fragrance — it’s a ritual of grounding and peace. White Lotus must be experienced to be truly understood.

Let's Shave With Lemon Ice


As the summer season progresses, I tend to think of the one I love, no, not Mary, I think of Frozen Lemon Ice. But I do love my wife.

The packaging design for this product was a labor of love, incorporating subtle elements from the movie Frozen. This creative approach aimed to convey the essence of the film while enhancing the overall experience.

The fragrance of Frozen Lemon Ice is a harmonious blend of tart lemon essence and menthol. The tartness of the lemon is reminiscent of freshly cut lemons, providing a delightful sensory experience.

The aftershave is particularly potent, featuring a strong lemon note. To acclimate to its intensity, use a small amount initially.

Let's Shave With St James Of London


Today I reached for St James of London because it just works. I was sent this from a subscriber because when he used it he had a reaction to it, so he thought I would enjoy it, and I do. It's so easy to lather, I just took some in my fingers and massaged it into my beard, then I used my brush to just make sure it was in the beard. This soap has great slickness and glide, which allows me to use my razor without fear of irritation, and the post-shave feel was awesome.

In this YouTube video, I talk about the movie from 2009 called Paper Man
