What exactly am I looking at here? It "looks" like a Japanese woodworking chisel, but since this is a shaving forum, it's probably something shaving. ??
Woops!! Thanks for pointing that out. I thought this was a woodworking forum (kidding of course) It's a Kamisori (traditional Japanese razor)
I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to blades and soaps, but started getting back in to injectors and that ended that.
I was a minimalist for my first 30 plus years of shaving. I've gone to the other extreme, way extreme.
And probably not a cheap one of either if Japanese straight razors are as dear as good Japanese woodworking tools are! Learned something new here today!

With about a quarter inch of fluid left in my current bottle of *inhale* Derby City Chop Shop Small Batch Shave Tonic Winter Reserve, it was time to order my yearly supply. 2 bottles on the way. Im not sure if there are any other fans of this brew on the forum, but if so, this is a seasonal product. And to save you time googling, it's a basic Bay Rum, made with bourbon, rather than perfumer's alcohol. It's not clove heavy like some other bay rums. Edit: and I order 2 bottles to save on shipping. $8 shipping for 1, $10 shipping for 2.
Looks better than the last bottle design, which gave off distinct "vinaigrette oil" vibes. Edit: I wonder if the new design keeps the drips off the label? The label on the old design looks decidedly vintage by the time the bottle is almost empty.
The bottle I received last year looks just like the one pictured here. It was shipped with an eyedropper. I use the eyedropper to keep from making a mess of the bottle and control the amount used.
Nope. Seasonal probably isn't the best word either. It's made in small batches, about 75-100 bottles at a time. They always make a batch for the Autumn season that releases in early October, and sometimes they make another batch in the late spring. I think one time i worked it out that they had been making it for about 8 years, and were up to batch #11. That was a few years ago.
