    I figured as long as I had the camera out, I might just as well see if things were working. I guess they are. ;)

    Happy Friday all! Today felt like and “Adjustable” type of day so I reached for the classiest one I have that came from a good friend in Kentucky thanks Dave! The Delta Echo Cubano Edition Slim made to look like a fine cigar and I do enjoy a fine Cuban cigar. Loaded up with a Polsilver IR.

    Soap of the day the requisite Henri et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars of course. What heady a scent indeed. Smooth, mellow tobacco scent with some wood and cognac in there. If you have ever stuck your beak in a humidor and loved it this one is for you! Beyond that the soap lathers well and easily. Nice cushion and glide and I have no issues with the post shave feel. However, some have commented that it simply does not agree with their skin. To each his own.

    Lovely two pass shave with a touch up and near BBS. Some matching C&CC balm and JV Dark Rebel and the trifecta of ungodly good decadent tobacconess is achieved!
