    I've had a sample of Bergamot Lavender soap for a while now, and I've never really cared for it - the scent just wasn't what I was expecting/hoping for when I ordered it.

    Well, this past week I had a cup of Earl Grey tea for the first time in probably a year, and as I was drinking my tea something finally clicked!

    I've always loved the scent of Earl Grey tea, but for some reason I never connected the dots. Bergamot & lavender are key ingredients in our Earl Grey Tea (see attached photo)!

    This evening I shaved with Bergamot Lavender again, and it was like a whole different soap. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this scent may actually become a favorite. I finally "get" Bergamot Lavender, and I'm looking forward to my next shave with it.

    Bergamot Lavender was an acquired taste for me. It really grew on me.

    In this "wear your mask, or else" era, I've been much more selective about 'what' and 'how much' I'm using. Bergamot Lavender is "mask friendly" in my book.

    Haven't had tea much recently but Earl Grey is great. Very interesting how you connected the dots there.

    I find that the "hospital" masks they give out for free don't block out as much from the cheeks as do others. I currently am doing PT for balance/gait issues. Free mask for each session. Nice. Fine for shaving.

    It's nice, Paul, but not a favorite. Probably the strongest, longest lasting of the Stirling aftershaves in my collection.

    Mr. Cawtuh, he presents quite a challenge to that pharmacy in NYC that offers shaving paraphernalia galore. (I forgot the name of it, my excuse is that I'm older now than when I last remembered it).

    I love shampoos and bath soaps.

    Got a few of the girly stanks for the estrogen units around here to try.

    Rod said he liked the new Intrepid Man. I took him at his word.

    A Gentlemen sample showed up. I'll try it, hoping I can avoid the 'licking the ashtray at the bar' speech.... Sorry Rod!

    Post shave balm.... A little dab'll do ya
