    Thank you Jeff. Swati and I really want to visit Portugal. Maybe things will settle down and we’ll get to go.

    Thanks gentlemen. I knew my explanation would sound a bit strange. I will keep Stirling and Stephans on the list to possibly investigate. It may be awhile as I have quite a bit of CC to finish first.

    As far as I know, I like clove so I don't think that's what I was picking up.

    From Wikipedia: Benzoin is a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery because of its sweet vanilla-like aroma. Based on that scent description, I don't think I was put off by the Benzoin, either.

    I don't think it was Bergamot as I enjoy orange/floral scents.

    It could possibly be the black licorice which is characteristic of black strap rum: Rich, creamy, molasses filled aroma exploding with maple syrup and black licorice with a sweet, full body and intense, slightly woody finish.

    I suppose it could be the bay. I don't know that I've ever smelled West Indie bay by itself.

    Again, B&M's expression of BR gets high marks by many, just not me. It's the only shaving product that I've disliked enough to pass it on based on scent alone, and that includes Arko and Clubman. :) It was truly irritating to my nose.

    Daniel it was nice that you were able to take care of your grandmother during such a difficult time. Remember to take care of yourself now.

    Thanks Daniel. We spent the summer at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where my Bride had a stem cell transplant. She's doing great, and we are blessed.

    You did the best with the photo as you could, since the gear isn't all that exciting. Tell you what I'll do - just to help you out. I'll take both the brush and razor off your hands for a very generous $100 bill. I'll even cover shipping. :D

    Thanks Daniel. She is in remission, which will hopefully last for years, and we are praying for a cure.

    Saturday's Shave
    #SEptember

    GEM Jr 1912
    GEM S/S PTFE
    Wild West Brushworks Tuxedo
    LEA Shaving Soap Stick
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Williams Aqua Velva (Spanish)

    I am WAY behind on this thread and I know I've missed responding to a a lot of posts. I'll try to get back in the mix soon.

    3 passes today with the GEM Jr provided a comfortable shave and no irritation.

    Awesome photo and setup, Jim! Hopefully the brush starts to behave itself soon.
