Shave with Francis

20/09/2024

I couldn’t resist when I stumbled upon this beautiful stoneware from rustic home ph While I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be a matcha mixing bowl, it caught my eye because it looks like it would make an amazing lathering bowl for shaving. The texture and design just felt right, so I decided to go for it! I placed the order and anxiously waited, hoping it would arrive in one piece after its journey from Manila to CDO. Thankfully, it was packaged with such care that it made it here safely, and I couldn’t be happier with my new find!

🇵🇭 Shave of the Day

22/08/2024

I'm excited to try this local shaving soap from The Eco Shift—Natural Shaving Soap Bar. The scent is wonderful and immediately puts me in a calm state. While I wouldn't describe it as a feminine fragrance, I do think it might appeal more to women. That said, I personally love the scent—it reminds me of a boutique hotel room. I can't wait to use it and see how well it performs.
