Good morning, gentlemen, and Happy Presidents Day to my brothers in the US! I completed another shave with my focus gear today. Sticking with the same gear for an extended period of time is boring to write about, but it allows me to get the best result from my two pass and touch-up routine. Everything came together this morning for super comfortable, near BBS results.
I finally finished up a bottle of Uomo EdT last week (not one I'll re-buy). It was lightly scented. It had gradually lost its strength, and it finally "turned" as we say here in my neck 'o the woods. As a result, I called it quits with this one. My colognes now include Aramis, Aramis Tobacco Reserve (haven't used it yet), and Terre d'Hermes. I've enjoyed TDH the last few days.
I'm well on my way to finishing up a bottle of Floid Vigoroso. After using it for the last few weeks, I've grown to really like the barbershop scent with the added menthol kick. It's good...but probably not good enough for a re-buy. Of the three soaps in my current rotation - Mike's, Jabonman Eufros, and Stirling - the BoS is showing the most use. All three soaps are top performers and are potential re-buys. In a continuing effort to simplify my den, I'll continue on until I use up these items.
The soap in the background of my SOTD photo is Stirling Sheep Soap. Man, this stuff is slick and nourishing. It works great as a pre-shave soap.
I plan to work on taxes today. Unlike
@clint64, I don't get paid to have this kind of fun.
I hope you all have a fantastic Monday.

...and I got a package in the mail from Japan Post last week. It's still in the box, stickered, tagged, and covered in lint. This model, the Seiko SARB033 has recently been discontinued. It is considered to be one of their mid-range models and is wildly popular among Seiko lovers. It has a 6R15 in-house Seiko automatic movement and was manufactured for the Japanese Domestic Market. They are still available on eBay at great price. If you're looking for a classic dress watch packed with nice features at a great price, you might want to check out this model. For those of you not good at reading between the lines, stop what you're doing and purchase one immediately. You'll thank me later.
