You got one of my earlier, softer samples I believe. The formula has been slightly tweaked for firmness since then. Glad it gave you a great shave! 😄

The razor went on sale a few days ago, this one is from a pass around in Spain that I organise, I only used it once in the #3 setting and I liked it, the geometry is based on the Faulx. 👋

Mate, do you find the head design a bit easier to control then the Le Faulx, it is a lot slimmer yeah and not as chunky. Will await your feedback when you've used it on a few more settings.

By the way, I don't think the Spanish Air is treating Sir Pablo Airforce Pomo Wood too well, time to ship it to South East Asia my friend. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That just shows how much I have not been paying attention lately. I had not heard of the AD Horizon. What do you think of it?

Brilliant picture by the way... :love: I think I might like the MdC Absinthe. Love the scent, so long as I don't have to drink it...

Absinthe works beautifully as an aftershave, like seriously.
 
Sunday Afternoon 06/07/2025


  • Razor : Oliworks M3teorite 3 piece 304 Stainless Steel (USA).
  • Blade : 7 O'clock Black Super Platinum (1).
  • Brush : Grizzle Bay Blurple Evo Fanchurian badger .
  • Soap : Proraso Azur Lime. (discontinued) barber shop dispenser.
  • Aftershave : Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.

Hi all,
I have a lovely shave this afternoon with my new Oliworks M3teorite razor.
The first time I saw this on @Errol weekly razor reviews and recently the video by Dave in KY and also the one by Sig solo.
Thanks to you all.
It was the design of the handle that first caught my eye.
The design reminded me of rock crushes I’d seen underground years ago.
Oliworks workmanship and attention to detail is first class including the etching on the base plate and the unique top cap design.
My razor came with the two and three plates as I rightly guessed the 1 plate would be too mild.
I used the two plate for this shave with three days growth I think it matched up well with the 7 o’clock black blade .
But for me the three plate will be my preference as I favor efficient close shaving razors (some say more aggressive).

The Proraso Azur lime shaving cream works so well as always what a shame it appears to be discontinued.

Finished Off with a very pleasant and zesty
Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.

One pass WTG/ATG and a couple of touch ups.
No nick's no irritation no worries.

Cheers.

Yeah, right. :unsure: Until I get stopped by the plods: "Sir, just blow into this if you wouldn't mind..."

A few years ago, I heard a salesman at Dan Murphy's explaining to a lady customer that he uses Port Charlotte single malt whisky as his aftershave. She caught my eye looking over his shoulder as if to say "¿Que?" :ROFLMAO:

However, I can probably agree that absinthe may be better administered externally than ingested. But my opinion may be coloured by a teenage experience of ¾ of a bottle of Pastis at an evening beach party. :facepalm:
