Quick Save With Tayler Of Old BondStreet


Late night, so a quick shave at 11:00PM with Taylor of Old Bond Street. I was working on a few projects that turned out to be harder than I thought they would be. Programming in Swift, and then I had to get a Developer's License just so people could use it. As it turned out, Windows people wanted it as well, so instead of working in a VM environment, I just tuned the whole thing into a web app, so it no longer matters what platform you're on. If you want to see them both, I will leave links right here

Mac Version, the first one I wrote - https://e1projectcalculator.com/

New web-based app - https://unixzap.github.io/UVProjectCalculator/

We will keep the web-based app in beta for a month to collect bug reports and feature requests. During this period, we will address the identified issues and implement the requested enhancements. Subsequently, we will release our initial product version.

I also saw Moonstruck on TCM, and I have to say, seeing it now, 40 years later, I see everything so much clearer. Nicolas Cage is now 62, and Cher is 80

Shaving With Thomas Shelby's Signature Scent


Step into the world of early 20th-century Birmingham with **Thomas Shelby's Signature Scent** from **Wet The Face**. Inspired by the timeless style, confidence, and quiet strength of one of television's most iconic characters, this shave is all about class, sophistication, and unmistakable masculinity.

The fragrance opens with bright notes of **lavender and clary sage**, creating a clean yet intriguing introduction. As the lather builds, rich **bitter almond, vanilla, and supple leather** emerge, adding warmth and depth. The scent finishes with smooth **tonka bean, cashmeran, amber, white woods, and luxurious leather accords**, leaving behind a bold, refined character that feels both modern and timeless.

Shaving With Don's Vetiver


Today, I am utilizing Don’s Vetiver, formerly known as Grey’s Vetiver, which Google has requested me to modify. I have no objections to this change. However, I have accumulated numerous labels bearing the previous name, and I intend to utilize them all before printing the new ones. Nevertheless, the website prominently displays the updated name.

This shaving soap is also available in a tallow version, which has garnered positive feedback from customers. Notably, several of its top-selling products are in the tallow formulation and have received exceptional reviews.

The scent I have been told is spot on, but of course, everyone's sense of smell is different. The reviews have always been on the positive side. The shave today went very well. I bowl lathered, which resulted in a wonderful lather. This was applied with my WTF brush, and it provided amazing coverage. The slickness and glide were above board, allowing for an irritation-free shave. The post-shave feel was fantastic as well.
