December 1, 2023 Blackland Vector Kai Captain Protouch MG Zenith Boar Mike’s Vetiver Guerlain Vetiver EdT Happy Friday Everyone. I will try to post on a more regular basis. In all the rush to new and improved soap bases, Mike's just continues to deliver without any fanfare. The soap just flat works for me. I will be buying replacements for Mike's Bay Rum, Lavender and Vetiver. These are some of favorite in each of their categories. Take care and have a great day.

December 2, 2023 Blackland Vector Kai Captain Protouch MG Alpha Outlaw Mike’s Vetiver Guerlain Vetiver EdT Happy Saturday Everyone. A wonderful day of college football ahead with Championship Saturday. I freely admit that college football is my favorite sport of the year. Another wonderful shave with Mike's. My best estimate is 1-3 shaves remaining on this bad boy. I think I will look for the next victim. Take care and have a great day.
Saturday, December 2 Vintage Williams~~Hucklaration B5~~Heljestrand MK No. 32~~Royall Bay Rhum Was seriously considering the Williams for my next 3017, but "been there-done that" so... It really does make some impressive suds. My puck is heavily infused with menthol crystals in homage to TSD's former member @GDCarrington and current freeze guru @Yehuda D Stank du jour is a bottle of vintage Royall Bay Rhum (made in Bermuda). While longevity isn't its strong suit, it is a classic West Indies Bay Rum and always gets a spontaneous SWMBOSOA® The Heljestrand did a very nice job on my cheeks and left some blood on both sides of my neck. What's that saying..."Chicks dig scars"?
December 3, 2023 Blackland Vector Kai Captain Protouch MG Zenith B2 Boar Mike’s Vetiver Guerlain Vetiver EdT Happy Sunday Everyone. Another great shave to start the day. After a raining yesterday and last night, the sun has broken through for what looks to be a wonderful day. My bride and I are going to run a few errands and then take our pup, Greyson, for a walk in a nearby park. Take care and have a great day.
Sunday, December 3 A&E Chasing the Dragon~~Semogue SOC Taj Resin Boar~~Gustave Lalune Mon Fier Destrier~~Royall Spyce So, this is a serious contender for the next 3017. The soap base is exquisite. The scent is strong, but after a good rinse with Thayer's, doesn't remain. That's some pretty shiny micro-foam you're looking at... The Lalune did a nice job on the cheeks and didn't draw any blood on my neck. Cotton Ball test results? Fail. The vintage Royall Spyce is in no way a clone and/or dupe of the Shulton juice. It drew neither compliments nor ire, so Primo calls that a win.
