It is pricey, but I'm still interested. I use scented products sparingly, so I would get a lot of mileage out of a bottle. I don't think anyone in my neck 'o the woods has a bottle of bay rhum. I've been on a quote kick lately, so here goes... "When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn." Mark Twain.
If they stop you it’s just to get a look at the car, it’s too cool to get a ticket. Impressive, making you own razor, I’ll be following it with interest. Nice watch. The Seiko 5 are nice.
I decided to call an audible at my sink of scrimmage this morning: prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Maximum Moisture) in shower shave-Razorock Lime Burst soap brush-Crown Kind Spindle Duro Tali (26mm)* razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE A.S.-Clubman Reserve(Gent's Gin) *same brush as originally planned. While the shave itself was progressing well, I ended up with 3 weepers in the process. None were problematic, they were just THERE. ( I guess-HOPE-it's always that way with weepers).These all came during the first pass. The Lime Burst felt so nice on my face-much more relaxing than the warm Central Texas Soap would have been. I just thought "Naah, this is silly....too warm for CTS". 2nd pass was good, no issues. Again, the aftershave was more relaxing on this day than the warm leather would have been. I might keep the same lineup for tomorrow..a bit cooler but still to warm for the cold-weather. I'm sure there will be SOME more chilly days left, but at the same time I'm looking ahead to bring the spring/summer gear up to the front of the den. Very Excellent.
I found a focus, well for at least a few days. Yesterday I used a big brush and another one today so I decided to do run of big brushes. Here is the line up: Simpson Polo 8,10 and 12, Silverloaf with a flat top Shavemac knot (used Saturday), Kent BK-12 and Simpson Chubby 2 used today. Today's shave was with a Filarmonica 13 and my social distancing kit. Tabac combined with Korous liberally spayed should ensure at least 3 meters distance. It was cold rainy day so....... I chilled at home with a cigar.

April Focus Chiseled Face Pine Tar~~Simpson CH2~~Pre-War Gillette Tech/Personna 74~~Alt Innsbruck Play Ball! The smell of the baseball bat, slathered with Pine Tar fills the air. The stands are virtually filled with cheering fans. Here's some irony. I really love Coal Tar. I use it as shampoo and occasionally soap. Pine Tar...not so much. REALLY glad I only got a small sample of this soap. Once again, the CF soap base is outstanding. Terrific lather. Together the Tech and the Personna 74 combined for a superlative shave. Alt Innsbruck is such a classic European scent and the menthol burst is refreshing. Thank you for all of the prayers and well-wishes for my dear friend, Bob. He is off of the ventilator; no tracheostomy was necessary; he is eating; in a normal bed, and while he has quite a bit of rehabilitation remaining, he is on the road to recovery.
