    I like it more and more as I smell it longer. It is a different scent, but it is growing on me quite a bit. My daughters like it quite a bit, although my wife hasn't commented on it.

    Sweet shave today with this razor/blade combo. Two passes with a hint of touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

    The one that appealed to me right off the bat was Home On The Range. I never got around to buying it though.

    Great looking shave Tim. The plating on your Old Type just pops with that deep gold shine. Very nice.

    Hi Paul, I have both, although the older version of Home on the Range = 9. Both are 2 of my favorites. I think I like Tombstone a tad more but it is close. IMO, you would do yourself a favor with either if the scent profile description sounds remotely like something you would like.

    Thank you Doug. I am very excited to try Freshly Baked. I know it sounds odd, but it has a very nice rich buttery scent thank both my wife and daughter really like as well.

    Hi Steve-thanks for the tip, and I think their "scent profile" chart is a wise addition for PAA. I didn't know there are two versions of HOTR.

    Brush- JR#262(@Jayaruh ). Birdseye Maple/Ebony wood. Whipped Dog Silvertip Badger
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
