If I recall correctly, the owner focused on making fragrances, and didn’t want to continue with the shaving products side of his business. He partnered with a soap and splash maker (Declaration maybe?) to use his scents in their software. I never bought any from them. I would imagine CL is around still, but hasn’t made shave stuff in years.
Thank you Charlie. I’m a lot better and will go into work today. Swati is still pretty sick and will try to work from home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 22, 2023 Wolfman WR1 OC (0.61mm) Gillette 7 O’clock Black 30DC LE SV Felce Aromatica Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Tuesday. I am up and moving today even it is slowly. I am going into work to make a go of things. At least I was able to get another great shave in this morning. I hope everyone as a great day.
Not sure what you mean, Paul. Clubman is a cloying, sickly-sweet cologne, which I do not care for. You will not ever see it in my den. That isn't to say I haven't tried it---I have. My nose is more sophisticated now. The stuff is awful.

I agree Joseph. It reminds me of what old men wore too much of at church. I’m old enough without making myself seem even older. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What I meeant is that you are joining @clint64 and @wristwatchb as the Clubman haters. I've loved it since I was a teen.
Hi All. If I may interject.. for those who have “issues” with Clubman.. I suggest Pitralon Pure as an alternative. To my nose, which granted isn’t as sophisticated as others’, it smells like a more dimensionally complex take on Pinaud Clubman. That and $2.90 will get you on the subway.
Charlie, you lost me at "take on Clubman". BTW, does a Subway ride really cost $2.90? Last time I rode it was $2.00.
-Tuesday- #77 new rfb/kcg soc palmolive hollister good morning gents. a rare glimpse at the"daily"rack. there are always 7 razors locked and loaded in the den,they get switched out when their blade is done. awesome. have a fine tuesday everyone.
Joseph, I believe fares went up last week. I’m pretty sure that’s the number. It was all over the news for a day or two, but the hoo ha seems to have subsided from what I can see. AFAIK bus and subway one-way fares had been $2.75 for some time. Tbh, other than the Long Island Railroad, we haven’t used mass transportation more than a handful of times in a very long time. The LIRR is very convenient for us. There’s a Bayside station on the Port Washington branch. We’re in midtown in under a half hour. Easy breezy . Fwiw, I’m also not a Clubman lover. It’s cloying (is that the correct word here?). But,,, the Pitralon, which does smell similar I think, is spicier and has more going on than the sweet smack in the face from Pinaud. Note: No offense intended
Paul et al, My dislike of Clubman (except for its ability as a drain cleaner) is well-documented. I won’t pile on (again), short of one more descriptor- it smells Cheap. Lots of splashes are cheap, it smells cheap.
Day 21 Karve ‘F’ Plate w PermaSharp APShave SynBad/ Poculi Asylum/SV Colonia combo Thayers I’m going to play with my Karve for awhile. I realize I don’t really mess around with different plates, and I will endeavour to do so over the next few weeks. Today was the F plate, which is the most aggressive one I own. Still a pretty smooth shave. The soap focus? More of the same…all good.
Day 22 Karve ‘F’ plate w PermaSharp ‘17 30DC LE Asylum/SV Colonia Thayers CL Unconditional Surrender The focus rolls along. The splash, however …c’est fini.
