Opening the Spring with this awesome gem. PAA put this as a Fall seasonal product, but IMO, this is a Spring scent. And, IMO, one of the top-3 PAA scents made. Doug informed me that Fran is the one who perfumed this beautiful scent. What is very upsetting is that this scent is not available year-round and was only brought back as a seasonal release in Fall of 2019. So, there are no Grove products available to buy right now.

Looks like I'd better research it then . With Erik Hodges being Smitty's real name, I'll refer to him as Erik from now on.

Ah the Sunday shave, so much going on in the world, such stress...so yes, a small respite from all of it. Reached for the Karve CB with the A OC plate. Now, I haven’t been a fan of Feather Hi Stainless in the past but with a mild setup I favour super sharp blades. My go to blades are the Kai Super Stainless, Gillette Nacet or Polsilver IR in a mild razor. However, I got gifted a tuck of Feather DEs so why not give them a go today.

Soap of the day CBL Black Rose Oud. I have been waiting to give this one a go. The performance of CBL soaps (all of them) is exceptionally good. Premium base, Tonsorial...just give them a go you won’t be disappointed. A lovely mild rose scent. Great lather and slickness always awaits with Chris’s soaps. Excellent!

A wonderful three pass BBS shave. Topped it off with Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Petal and Guerlain Habit Rouge. Now it’s been a rough and uncertain week for a lot of people. Call those you love and keep them and yours in your prayers. Stay safe and be careful.

I edited the post to reflect that Fran, his business partner is the one who created the Grove scent, not Doug.
