    Great B&W, Jim. H&V is a Canadian artisan that I haven't found the want/opportunity to try yet. I've always heard great things about the Cognac and Cuban cigars scent and I am definitely intrigued by their new Triple Milled base. How is it performance-wise? I have become more and more a fan of triple milled soaps.
    Very cool, Jim. It is becoming harder to keep up with all the PAA scents! They have duped some very interesting vintage scents that many other artisans haven't. This one, the Hai Karate dupe and the Paco Rabanne dupe all come to mind.
    Grapefruit and Pine? I'm sure B&M will try! They'll add 4 other things and might just pull it off...
    Nice combo, Blair. Do you use that EdT as an aftershave? Interesting if you do.
    Great looking Limes shave, Gary. Which is your fave Limes scent? I'm thinking of a splash to pair with my Castle Forbes Lime.
    Congrats on finding another good blade for you, Terry. You certainly can't go wrong with a Monobilt, or that Stirling Bay Rum, either.
    Very nice, Danny. Love the Red Tip and Fine soaps for sure. Haven't tried that pure Menthol version yet.
    Congrats, Charlie! I have never had a move that sounded so positive, fun and relaxed as yours does. Awesome!

    Thank you, Gentlemen. Sometimes the old clichés work- no news is good news.

    Razor: Gillette Techmatic Adjustable
    Blade: Gillette Techmatic
    Brush: Shavemac Zebra, Honeycomb 2 Band Badger
    Soap: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
    Aftershave: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

    I received a very unexpected gift of a Gillette Techmatic Adjustable razor band from @Jorvaljr (Jorge Valerio). I used this afternoon with great results, a BBS. The Shavemac whipped a great lather with a Bay Rum finish. Ready to go! Thank you once again Jorge. :happy088:

    Great shave but I have to agree with you on grapefruit and pine. How about grapefruit ice cream? :)

    But did you try the Gillette Wilkinson from India or the Wilkinson classic from Germany? To me the classic is a much better blade.
