The Chiseled Face synthetic in the photo, like the Phoenix Artisan Valentine’s Day Dark Chocolate shaving soap and aftershave, is a one-off, though all are delightful.
The lather loaded the brush with brown soap, but as I worked the lather into the stubble it became white—and very fragrant, for those who like dark chocolate. (I in fact have a wonderful dark-chocolate rye whiskey.)
Three passes with the Rockwell 6S R3 plate was easy, comfortable, and effective, and a splash of the dark-chocolate aftershave finished the job.
Then I enjoyed a good breakfast. I put my small (8″) T-Fal pan over relatively high heat (7-8 on my 10-point dial on electric range), since the non-stick coating is insulating (which it is difficult to sear meat in a non-stick pan). When the pan is well-heated, add:
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
good pinch of salt
several grindings of black pepper
Sauté for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent, then add:
3/4 cup chopped oyster mushrooms (emphasis is on the caps, not the stems)
5 bay scallops
[1 chopped Serrano pepper, if I had had it]
When the mushrooms start to release their water, add:
4 cherry tomatoes, sliced (the ones I have are long, like little Roma tomatoes)
When tomatoes have cooked through, add:
2 jumbo eggs, beaten in a bowl
Use spatula to stir and turn, then slide it into a bowl. Very tasty and only 3 WW points (from the olive oil—everything else is zero points).
Also: two mugs of tea (in a 1-pint mug).
