What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Stirling Elba.
Yea.

 

You sent it here, right? I thought about getting it

 

Sorry man, It's Bonaparte with jasmine instead of ylang ylang. I think it's going to be awesome. I will post a review as soon as I receive it. I have Bonaparte on deck so I can compare them side by side.

 

I've never tried Bonaparte. I've considered it. How would you describe it?

 

That is a really loaded question because it's very much an enigma. Either you love it or you seem to dislike it. Perhaps a sample would be best. It's a big bold scent and I purchased a sample and liked it so much I got a puck. No doubt it's in my rotation. There is a ton of different things going on and it's a very rich somewhat savory scent with a lot of spice. It's really well balanced and exotic without being unfamiliar.

 

Bold like Ozark Mountain?

 

Yes. Perhaps "B" is a half to a full step above OM but It's not heavy handed or overdone. To me the OM was a very natural pine scent with an earthy tone. I equate it to elk hunting in northern Idaho and sitting under a juniper tree.

 

.... I think I need a puck of each soap and now croap... Oh... And the Splashes & Balms... I hate this place.

 

All in due time... Christmas is coming up and that pretty little gal on your shoulder is likely needing some ideas for stocking stuffers.

Waiting on it to come to me from parents lol

 

That is so cool! Thanks for digging up all the history on this brush. Half the fun of this adventure is finding out all the history on the tools we use.

 

For sure, the history is half the fun. Like a 1902 Star. Imagine the man saving up and buying this cool new technology for $2, shaving with it for years, then the mysterious journey until it comes to me from Craigslist. It's amazing.

 

Total of $30---> Free GEM + some cash

 

Blades! 100 each Ladas, Voskhods and Gillette Silver Blue. I think I'm set. I also have a Krona making its way to Texas. Im not hoarding I tend to give out samples and include a tuck when I sell on the Bay.
