"Giant Sea Serpent" - an extraordinary woodcut hand-coloured print of a giant sea monster serpent attacking a ship by Conrad Gessner, from the third German edition of his Fischbuch, published in 1598 in Zurich.

Conrad Gessner (1516 - 1565) was a Swiss physician, bibliographer, natural historian, philologist and illustrator. He was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and studied languages, theology and medicine at university. Later as a City Physician he spend much of his time on collecting, research and writing. Gessner compiled monumental works on bibliography (Bibliotheca universalis 1545–1549) and zoology (Historia animalium 1551–1558) and was working on a major botanical text at the time of his death from plaque at the age of 49. He is regarded as the father of modern scientific bibliography, zoology and botany. Over his lifetime he produced some 70 publications on many different subjects. In Historia animalium Gessner combines data from old sources, such as the Old Testament, Aristotle, Pliny, folklore, and medieval bestiaries. Gessner's books were illustrated with hand-coloured woodcut prints of many well-known animals, and some fictional ones, including unicorns, mermaids and serpents.

Gessner's woodcut of a giant sea serpent attacking a ship is notably similar to one by Olaus Magnus in his History of the Northern Peoples published in 1555. This remarkable leaf depicting the sea serpent is from the third German edition of Gessner's Fischbuch, published by Christoff Froschower in Zurich in 1598. This volume contains many additional illustrations by Gessner, based on his observations as well as on work of other naturalists of 16th century.

Handy Compact Trimmer
I really like how this trimmer has two functions in one, it makes things super convenient. It’s small and easy to hold, so I can use it on different areas without feeling awkward. I tried it on both legs and underarms, and it gave a smooth finish without irritation. The design makes it easy to switch between trimming and shaving, which is a nice touch. I also appreciate that it’s waterproof, so I can just rinse it clean after using it. Overall, it feels like a simple and practical tool to keep around for quick grooming.

efficiently remove body hair
It is excellent bikini trimmer to trim overgrown hair. Works great and super easy to use. It's easy to handle, charges quickly, and trims without irritation. I like the 2 in 1 dual side design. The round head hair remover works very efficient and after removal of arm hair, I don't feel any pain. And the residue hair could be released from the device easily. Perfect for travel or quick touch-ups at home. Love the cute design and color. It is affordable bikini trimmer that gets the job done without irritation or nicks.

Functional
I used to get cuts when using regular razors but ever since I switched to this electric razor, I no longer have to worry about getting hurt. The blade is extremely sharp yet gentle and provides a smooth shave on my face, legs, underarms and other areas without any pain. The waterproof feature makes cleaning easy. I can simply rinse it under the tap. The rechargeable design is also very convenient. It's small and portable easy to take on business trips and travels! The shaver glides smoothly on underarms and the detailer head gives perfect shaping for bikini lines. Fully waterproof for shower use and the self cleaning blades rinse effortlessly.

A little drying but amazing
First thing to note is this is a soap, not a cleansing bar, so it WILL dry you out if you use it too much. but the smell is irresistible, and it definitely conditions your skin well. I wouldn't say it has a slimy texture like advertised, but it is still really pleasant and the foam is so rich with herbal aromas. Definitely not a good value for the money, but I consider this like a luxury splurge soap bar for when I want to treat my senses rather than a daily driver cleanser bar.
