Wow! He still rides a motorcycle! I am impressed and you are blessed!

 

Great shave Joseph!

 

That was it-I was talkinabout Long Aisleand

 

That I am Joe. I'd do ANYTHING for that man and he knows it !

 

You're right Blair....I think it came due to excessive shaving down at Cactus Nation...there was too much foam I wanted to kill off.

 

Thank you Joe....I could have done a little better, but thankfully the Bill Neumann A.S. is great "skin food".

 

I just brought my Guerlain Fresh Vetiver up for the current "lineup". I wonder how Fine Vetiver stacks up against it.

 

Estes Park!!!! Been there many summers. Lovely area. Looks like you stayed in what used to be the Blue Spruce cottages-with the Big Thompson right there.

 

It really is, Joe.....have you been there?

 

Super Proraso shave Joe!

Very cool Joe! Oh, the dubl duck and shave combination is pretty neat too.

Awesomely cool Dave!

Excellence Joseph! Love the TdH fragrance.

 

Beautiful…so how close is the L’Orange Noir to the original, Joseph?

 

Green Vetiver is Fine’s dupe of Guerlain, Paul. Fresh Vetiver is their dupe of Tom Ford’s Gray Vetiver.

 

Thank you Joe.

No I haven't. I have never been to Colorado. The farthest I have driven was Bloomington, Indiana. I have flown to San Francisco and Tampa/St Pete.

 

Thanks Blair! I like Proraso Green very much.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Last outing of the Chinese London Bridge blade on it's fourth use which felt as though it carry on with a few more shaves, but i will retire it to the blade bin. Four no-drama shaves from an inexpensive blade is enough for me.

The Scottish Fine Shaving Soap never fails to provide me with a excellent slick protective lather for the shave leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close pleasurable shave with no errors to report....Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

ALWAYS a smooth and extremely close shave with the Krect. Baron's Choice may have but a few more shaves in it. Had to transfer to the Turkish copper bowl for next shaves. Have a fun day !

 

Thanks, Jason. I don't own the original Terre d'Hermès EdT, which has been reformulated a few times over the years. Supposedly, the parfum is a throw back to the first version of the EdT. That being said, the Fine shave soap has the same DNA, but lacks the nuances of the Hermès. Does it matter? I don't think so. The soap is quite good and you can still find the original formulas on Ebay from $12-$15.
