    I gave the Veg a good try last month while doing yard work. I wasn’t chosen.

    Tonight’s shave involved Coconut Lime, Lil’Brudder, and seven razors. I knew that only three of the ten razors in rotation had new blades, so after some quick tests and set asides, I finished with a 37C then started cleaning razors.

    I’m going to run out the last three blades then only load one razor at a time.

    I tried MITA this morning, and while good, Frozen Tundra is still my favourite Summer chiller (I also tried Orange Chill). For me, the Frozen Tundra was the coldest of the three, the best performing, the most nourishing, and the scent I preferred--pretty much the exact opposite of my expectations going in.


    Does anyone have a suggestion for a balm to go with Frozen Tundra other than unscented menthol? I want a complimentary scent with a lingering chill effect.

    Do folks tend to use the witch hazel splash + balm or is just the balm enough? I currently just finish with Midnight & Two balm, but I am not familiar with the Stirling line.

    Cheers,
    mvd

    Received a tub of Glacial Black Cherry today and it has a fantastic scent and plenty of freeze. It really didn't take that long to adapt to the glacial level soaps. They are face freezers but nowhere near as bad as that first time for me.

    Now this is getting good. Can you provide us with more color around the event about this woman who caught a whiff of your Clubman?

    Well, all I can say is it didn't hit me that she was doing it at all until just as she finished and walked away. Since that hadn't happened to me before, I wasn't sure what to say, but at least it will go down in history that I didn't say "Hey! Are you crazy? What's happening here!!!". I guess I just sort of let her do it, with no reply. For all I know, she probably told her husband that night to buy barbershop-scented products, or Clubman itself, if she was familiar with it.

    Indeed! How old was this lady? What sort of sniff did she deploy? Did she have to push her way through the line to access your silage? :D

    Women normally operate on an Uber stealthy level in contrast to the gender that stares at pretty things, so the fact you caught this one sniffing your Clubman cloud means she was old and careless, or she wanted you to notice her noticing, OR she was so overcome by Clubman she completely dropped her guard as she succumb to the legendary fragrance.

    I'm going to guess late 40's-early 50's. She was quite attractive, but not in a "spring-chicken" kind of way. She was ahead of me in the line; the cashier was ringing up her food. As for the sniff motion, she worked my face, then my neck. Exactly where I had the Clubman. I now think she wanted me to notice her noticing, and I did, but probably not at the right time. :-(. Pretty gutsy of her to do that in a supermarket cashier line, I'll say that!

    I'll take choices 2 and 3 for 100 :).

    Nice!
    I’d definitely say you and Clubman can chalk up a point. That was about as subtle as a pat on the tuckus. Obviously a woman of discerning taste.

    I just have to wonder if I'll ever see he again. But this town is small enough so it's a possibility.

    I’d advise against a heavier application. Clearly Paul has found the sweet spot and not become “too much cologne wearer guy.”
