ETHOS Blood Orange~~Declaration Grooming B14 Washington~~Wolfman WR2 Ti .74/Personna 74~~Terre d'Hermès Parfum
I discovered that the Terre d'Hermès pairs quite well with the Blood Orange.​

An informative post, ambergris is one of my favorite notes, I always wondered how did they get it, now I know. At least they use a band aid.

AoS Peppermint, great stuff.

Only 24?! I am scared to count mine but I think you have me beat, but it is close.

Like Clint, I am enjoying this 3017, MdC is the real deal. I am may not post for a week as I am going in next Tuesday for surgery for an inguinal hernia. A result of over doing it in the gym and zumba class. Fortunately the hospital is just a 90 second walk away. My brother and his family had planned to visit and they are arriving tomorrow so I get two days with them before the surgery.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery, Keith.

Hi Keith

Happy Saturday Everyone! Asha, Corey and their dog Copper stopped by for a couple of days on their way to Flagstaff, AZ. Movers are taking most of their big stuff but they were forced to pull a U-Haul trailer in order to cut down on the costs. It was nice of them to stop by on their way. Swati and I really enjoyed the visit. After they left this morning, I decided to wash and wax my car. The car looks nice but I worked harder than I wanted. A cool shower and a cold water shave set everything right in my world. Have a great day and take care. ​

Next time you're in my neck o' the woods, I gotta job for you.

Love the Jicky.

Gentlemen...THIS is shaving.
Not pictured, my stank du jour




​

I had plans to get to the inside...........just doing the outside reminded me that I am an old man.

Good luck on it, Keith.

Mike's Bay Rum~~Semogue SOC Boar~~Gillette #44 RFB/Personna 74~~Dominica Bay Rum
Playing the field for a few days and loving it.​

So I finally finished my tub of TOBS. It did not go quietly into that good night. My next victim - Catie’s Bubbles - Waterlyptus. It’s pleasant and cooling. This’ll be a good 3017…

Good job, Randy.

Good work Randy.

ETHOS Vanilla Safi~~Simpson CH2 Synthetic Badger~~Gillette New LC/Personna 74~~Vintage Caron Pour un Homme
The jury's still out on this shave soap.
Good base, as usual, but I have to use my synthetic brush to avoid staining my badger tips.
The Caron, while essentially a lavender stank, has a massive vanilla accord.​

Tallow + Steel Indian Bay (3017)~~Hucklaration B5~~1936 Gillette De Luxe/Personna 74~~West Indies Bay Rum w/Lime
Here's the next 3017.

The T+S is this company's take on Bay Rum.
Well, imo, it's an interesting scent, but a LONG way from what I consider Bay Rum.
Hard to estimate how much soap remains. The container is wide enough to facilitate a successful "Fast 'n Loose"® lathering.
While the soap color is quite dark, it does not stain a badger brush.

Tallow + Steel Indian Bay~~Vie-Long~~Gillette Pre-War Tech (USA)/Personna 74~~Nasomatto Baraonda
If I ever get pulled over wearing this stank, I guarantee I'll be given a breathalyzer test.​
