    It slipped by me the first go round, so I’ll have to buy some too........if it makes a second appearance. A full size tub would be nice too while I’m dreaming.

    I used the Texas On Fire tonight and was completely satisfied with the soap, the lather, the scent and how my face felt after. I was kinda worried about how it would smell after I tried just a little of the splash when I first got it. I was either 100% wrong in my initial impression or it grows on ya. It reminds me of the main street at Silver Dollar City. With the smokey blacksmith shops and all the other places that burn wood or coal for their crafts. Guess ya just have to walk main street to get it. All that said, I like it and it'll be on the full size order.

    Indeed. I’ve gone the last few days without shaving, but still dabbed on a little Gentleman today while doing house and yard chores. No reason to smell less than my best while working.

    After last nights hot shower, I felt like it was the perfect time to rid myself of four day’s growth. After a day outside in the cold fall air, Pumpkin Spice seemed like the perfect choice. It was!

    I had a short time until bed, so I let the delicious fragrance of the soap carry itself. My pillow would smell like Pumpkin Spice until the next laundry day if I’d used the splash.

    Today our family went for a morning walk through town. The sun was out, but the temperature was mid-40’s. Definitely fall. I splashed on a little Ozark Mountain before heading out the door. I kept silently congratulating myself during the walk. OM has some strength, and a cold breeze didn’t slow it down. And the scent was spot on for a walk through the leaves while watching the squirrels scramble for their pre-winter calories.

    I can’t wear OM every day (I could shave with it though), but on the “right” days, it’s great to have on standby.

    Ozark Mountain is a wonderful scent. Reminds me of the holidays and I’ll use it a lot next month. The aftershave is certainly powerful. Nice post!
