Wishing you a fast recovery! I never thought I would admit this in public, but since I am among friends. It is true, I DIG THE PIG!
Friday, January 3 AoS Sandalwood~~Abercrombie & Fitch (Rooney)~~Gillette New SC/Wilkinson Late post from yesterday's shave. That small amount of soap-remains continues to defy death and at the same time makes terrific lather. Not shown is the AoS Sandalwood EdT. Applied with discretion, no complaints from Dr. Mrs. Primo. Funnily enough, I still can smell it this morning.
Thanks Joseph. I appreciate the kind words. It was definitely due to my inattention. Hope you and Dr. Mrs. Primo are well.
Saturday, January 4 AoS Sandalwood~~Wald A1~~Gillette New LC/Polsilver~~Vintage Grey Flannel Picked up this bottle of vintage Grey Flannel, a scent I wore often in high school and college. Smells just the same. Stanky.
Wow, the growth spurt really kicked in during 5th grade. Maybe you confused your endocrine system by starting stanks too early? Classy monogrammed (or Piggly Wiggly?) sweater, by the way. And, of course, the nicest shave in the 5th grade class.
My X-brother-in-law got me a Grey Flannel for Christmas once...I was past college then, so I never experienced it DURING college.

Monday, January 6 Yardley~~dubl duck #2~~Wolfman WR2/Polsilver~~Barrister & Mann Kyovu After just coming off a VERY long 3017, I am going to enjoy some variety. Everything thing today worked out perfectly.
Tuesday, January 7 Santa Maria Novella Crema da Barba~~Hoffritz 19mm~~Wolfman WR2/Polsilver~~Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco This stank may be might most favorite tobacco scent EVUH!
Sunday, January 12 Vintage Williams~~Wald A1~~Wolfman WR1 Ti .74/Polsilver~~Vintage Aqua Velva Sorry for my absence. I missed TSD! The Williams lathered like a champ. It's heavily mentholated, so my face got a good kick. Desert Island razor is the Wolfman WR1. Today, loaded with a vintage Polsilver blade. Splashed on some memories with the Aqua Velva.
Monday, January 13 Fine L'Orange Noir~~Rooney Beehive~~Wolfman WR1/Polsilver~~Oud 24 Hours I'll announce my next 3017 in a while. I am going to play the field for the foreseeable future.
Tuesday, January 14 Yardley Black Label~~Semogue TSN Final Edition 1/50~~Cooper Monobilt/Polsilver~~Amouage Gold Pulled out the big guns for today's shave. Finished with the original formula Amouage Gold. Can you say Civet?
I am back with a new 3017. After playing the field for a week I decided I need to finish off this puck of Czech & Speake 88. I think this had the same base as the AoS tallow, luckily after all these years there is still some scent. I did finish off a bottle of my favorite cold weather A/S, Small Batch Shave Tonic. Fortunately, my brother from another brother hooked me up with a bottle on my last visit to the father land.
This soap was indeed made by Valobra. Great base. The Rose Absolute is quite different from the typical Rose accord, such as MdC or Klar Kabinett. Dustier/Darker.
