About how many vinyls you got? Seems like a nice collection. Oh, and your shave selections have been appealing too.

Post Shave
Styptic: Tulumba Alum Block
Facial Toner: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel & Aloe Toner
Aftershave Balm: eShave Cucumber Aftershave Cream
Cologne: Musgo Real Agua di Colonia #2 - Oak Moss

Result: 4.5/5.0 Scary close in two passes with the Merkur 12C Open Comb. Need to watch that. Good sign I'm getting cocky. The Honeybee Vanilla Oak is a nice soft scent that smells different from tub to face. Much better on face. Paired it up with the Musgo Real Oak Moss Cologne. BBS with some redness.

Thank you, kind sir.

I started my vinyl collection in 1962. At last count there were 400 + albums in my collection. Most of it still in reasonable condition. I continued buying vinyl through the CD revolution, and made many nice purchases as the Record shops cleared out space for CDs. I still purchase stuff when I find it.
