Friday, December 20 AoS Sandalwood~~Declaration Grooming B14 Washington~~Wolfman WR2/Wilkinson~~Paco Rabanne 1 Million Privé Back on track. Great shave with the AoS Sandalwood. Superior lather. We're reaching the end, believe it or not. Put the Titanium handle on the WR2. Love it. 1 Million Privé for the finish. This juice is the stankiest.
OK, I had to look that one up, I have never seen nor tried 1 Million Privé. I am not a fan of 'sweet' scents, how 'sweet' is it?
Being somewhat familiar with your taste in stanks, the Privé will mos def® tip the scale towards "sweetness"---however, the tobacco and amber accords balance it all out. I tried 1 Million Parfum and nearly gagged at the immense sweetness. It was a scrubber and got sold immediately. I am really enjoying this and 1 Million Lucky.
I'm enjoying my Aramis Tobacco Reserve thanks to your recommendation, Joseph. Thank you again. I've already discovered that four sprays will earn you VIP status at Piggly Wiggly, so two sprays are about right under normal, less demanding conditions.
I 3017'd a jar of the OG scent before 3017 was openly discussed in polite company. I fondly recall those days back when we still had our hair and our sense of humor. I have another jar of unscented MdC that I purchased years ago that will eventually come up for a 3017. Not sure why I got the unscented, so I'll doctor it up with lavender EO.
I remember test spraying 1 Million Parfum and well I was fortunate to have just sprayed it on paper. If I see the Prive or Lucky I will give them a try.

Sunday, December 22 AoS Sandalwood~~dubl duck #2~~Dovo 6/8~~Paco Rabanne 1 Million Privé You can't see the bottom of the bowl, but the remains of the AoS Sandalwood are almost gone. My guess is another 7-10 shaves. Broke out a Dovo straight for today's shave. I have been eschewing the straight edges. No reason, other than maintenance requirements. This edge is quite keen and the shave went off without any blood-letting. I haven't been using the vintage AoS Sandalwood EdT, because Dr. Mrs. Primo informed me she wasn't a fan. That was a hard blow. On the flip side, she's diggin' the 1 Million Privé, so...all's well with the world.
