    Thanks, Jason. I agree. For the money you get a quality product.

    I have another one for your "offensive arsenal". Chiseled Face "Midnight Stag". There's a chance someone might ask if you had a mishap at the gas pump. :happy102:
    So far, that's the only scent my wife told me to only use when she isn't around. She doesn't even need to worry about me using it then. I'm glad I only ordered a sample of the soap and A/S.

    Thanks, Clint. Completely different than the Mike's. The B&M scent is Lavender-ish, while Mike's is straight Lavender essential oil. Honestly, I prefer the Mike's.

    Thank you, Joe. I find the Barrister and Mann philosophy of changing formulas as often as I change underwear frustrating. I want stability and consistency.

    I really like Mike's straight lavender scent as well. Most of Mike's soaps are a straight forward intense take on the scent. Mike's Bay Rum and Vetiver come to mind in that both are just straight forward and intense. I also like lavender and peppermint like Cambridge & Oxford or Fine Lavender Pour Homme.

    Thanks, Joe. Lavender and Rose are my go-to "flowery" scents. Unfortunately, Dr. Mrs. Primo is not a fan of rose.

    Wonderful picture Jim. I am glad you TnS knot is getting better. I am still battling with mine. Report to follow.

    Don't forget about the original Martin de Candre, Art of Shaving and Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge (if you can find it). The Fine is nice. I had it, but gave the soap and AS to my daughter's boyfriend. He really likes it. So did SWMBO.

    This week is going by pretty quickly. I decided to pull out the Dubl Duck with the TnS gel boar and give it another try. Honestly this brush is frustrating me. It looks like its loading soap, feels like its loading soap but it really loads only half as much as I think. I even bowl lathered today and barely had enough lather for three passes. I guess I am going to have to mistreat this brush to get it to load. The shave was an uneventful three pass near BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Nice, Chris. Is this reggae? Sorry, musically I am a little narrow-minded.

    Thank you, Clint!
    Lovely picture!

    When I spoke to Milton about setting the loft on the Shoat he acknowledged that it would "eat lather at first but eventually break in". Time will tell.
    Thank you, Andrew!
