Another shout out to u/infernalinternal for the unsolicited Hampshire Wool Fat, it's a super nice soap. The fragrance in it is very subtle, I'd describe it as a Stirling Sheep without the funk. I'm a big fan of Mitchell's Wool Fat already, so this was right up my alley, just with a more unique scent. Since today's theme is a question (i.e. Where's the Beef?) I thought it fitting to counteract the non beef tallow by answering the question with beef tallow balm. It was in my bathroom, so I found it.
But before the balm, came the Osma, which I own, but pretty much never use. I enjoy the feeling while applying it, but it is damn near impossible to wash off, which was the case today.
I haven't counted how many shaves are on this Fromm blade, probably \~5, but it's a crazy smooth blade, probably my new favorite hair shaper blade, I'll have to revisit a Kismet in the future.
I'm seeing many other interesting tallows, and definitely want to check out bear and duck in the future!
