    My Dad asked me to help clean out an apartment he rented to a gal who burned incense to cover the aroma of her cannabis hobby. I think her hobby prevented her from dedicating any time to cleaning.

    When I took my first whiff of Glastonbury, my thoughts zoomed to that day.

    Ah, Glastonbury. I was wondering whether that was what you were thinking of. The question was actually about Gatlinburg.

    Yeah, @wristwatchb is a bad influence. Fortunately, Egyptian math allowed me to time travel, so I actually don’t find that pic until tomorrow.

    Wow did mess that one up.

    Not sure if you want to hear my story on that one or not, but when The Lovely Mrs Headroom got her first whiff, she asked me if I was gonna shave or lick the ashtrays.

    Another one that I seen folks love, but not me

    I was middle of the road on Gatlinburg(it was in my second sample A.S. group). I don't recall having an "ashtray sensation" with it.

    Okay.... Messed it up twice.
    Got me thinking, so I went to the tub of samples sealed away in Max Headroom Never-Neverland. Got my refreshers.

    Stirling Gentleman - licking ashtrays
    Glastonbury - Dirty Hippie Girl Apartment
    Port-au-Prince - shovels of dirt being thrown on me in a deep freshly dug hole
    Gatlinburg - fallen leaves dampened in the woods on a fall day.

    My apologies to the original poster.
    My Stirling Fanboy disclaimer - opinions are strictly that of Max Headroom Enterprises and are not intended to dissuade individuals from making their own conclusions, because a lot of folks love these and then tell me I smell like a French brothel wearing a Glorious Stank like Stirling Blu.

    Go figure, something for everyone.

    33 is good, for some folks that is 5 marriages.

    This actually makes more sense, especially the brothel part. Thanks. I find it interesting that you and others are familiar with the smells of a French brothel.

    The comment from my coworker was that I smelled like..... and I'll euphamize this.......a female employee of a French brothel.

    I wasn't on my best game that day or I would have asked him how he knew what these people smell like.

    :cool:

    “My Coworker...” & “female employee of a French brothel.”
    Hmm. Your secret is safe with me. I won’t tell anyone. Do you have dual citizenship or a work visa?

    Tried the Deep Blue Sea Aftershave sample for today's shave. Cologne dupe samples are tricky(for me, anyway)as it's hard to determine if you have too much or not enough on. I guess what I'm saying is, with a sample of, say, Coniferous, you might be able to get by with too much.I also discovered I was having trouble seeing the sample-size. Had to put my glasses on for application. First time that's happened. But-a sample size is just that, of course. Still a great idea to see what you like.

    You went all the way with Stoylin on that one. Course I've done the same.

    Been learning how to use a finishing stone to maintain the edges on my straights. The razor had been previously honed and while the hone was done great, this particular finish (Surgical Black) was not for me. So, what the hell I thought! Let me use this razor to prectice with. What do you know, I had a very decent shave lol!

    i REALLY needed my menthol fix. It has been way to long hehe
