Going to stick with the Fine AS till gone, to see if the lack of skin food dries out my skin in the winter. It's in the interest of science, of course.

 

[MilkCrate]

Science!

 

[GearNoir]

Good smelling science!

I love the Fine aftershaves, but using just those in winter would leave my face looking like shedding snakeskin.

I'll see how my face and neck react. My skin is slightly oily, so my experience may differ. The science shall reveal the answer.

Lately I've exhibited little self control when it comes to buying soaps and splashes. With Black Friday and Christmas specials, I've been powerless to resist the Sirens' song of frugality. My splash collection has exploded to seven bottles! I'm ready for the Splashocalypse.


Cadre, I am officially out of control.

7 day rotation

 

[Smattayu]

Seven?! It’s time for an intervention.

I know. I need help!

Rotating through shaving gear would make me nuts. Different stuff every day? No thank you, I prefer the consistency 3017ing brings. I do like trying different products, just one at a time.

• Fine Fresh Vetiver

Fresh tub of soap, new brush, and great AS. What's not to like? Have a great day, Cadre!

A drop or two of glycerine mixed into the bottle will fix that.

Nothing wrong with consistency.

• Fine Fresh Vetiver
• EDC Canoe

Though not an exact match, I like the way vetiver and Canoe complement each other. Happy Wednesday, Cadre!

I haven't sniffed Canoe in a very long time. I liked it when I was younger. Has the scent changed over the years? What exactly does it smell like? KJ recently said that it's like Pinaud...but that's not my recollection of it...not that my recollection is all that good!

It's a lot like Clubman.

Started this cold morning with a BBS shave. The Carnation continues to perform flawlessly, though the tub is rapidly diminishing. Fine Fresh Vetiver smells absolutely perfect to me, so I'm ready to face the day.

I can smell you from here! Man do you smell great!
