Using generous portions, I've rid myself of this 50 gallon Drum o'Floid. Good stuff, but I'm done with it for a few years. Next up, Captain's Choice Venture. Glycerin and witch hazel in that magic potion.

Dang that’s a lot of Floid! Good job finishing it off.

I love CC Venture. It was fun to be a tester for it. It’s near the top of my b-day wishlist.
 
That was a marathon of aftershave splashing! Glad you get to move on to another!
 
It is always impressive when someone finishes a product around here, let alone the huge Floid container!
 
Five shaves out of the Crown blade, maybe could have gotten one more, but I don't push my luck. Blades don't cost much so I don't hang onto them. Am loving the CC Venture, nice scent, doesn't last too long. Maybe I'll get some Creed Adventus cologne. CC AS are perfect for my skin, they are at the top for me, alongside Irisch Moos.
 
Well, okaaay, just checked the prices on Creed Adventus. Not going to do it. Looks like I'll be reading the Creed Adventus thread in AS & Frags!
 
The Fine Accoutrements Platinum EdP would be a good shout for a similar frag at a fraction of the cost...$25 or so I believe.
 
I do like that the Captain keeps things simple in his AS! He’s put Venture to the full lineup now too - AS, soap, cream, and balm.

I will echo Josh's sentiments. Try the Fine Accoutrements Platinum EdT...I have been using it past couple weeks and get a lot of compliments at work. I don't know how close it is to Adventus, but at $25, who cares. I am waiting for the EdT in Orange Dirt...man that will be some good stuff!
 
Happy Fourth, everyone! Finished up course #4 Monday, am now knee deep in #5 of 12.

Had a great shave this morning: Fine Green Vetiver soap, Rudy Vey 22mm STF Muhle synthetic, '38 Sheraton, Crown SS on its fifth and final shave, CC Venture splash on. Excellent BBS shave, but could feel tugging on the upstroke on my chin, so the blade got tossed. Five shaves from Crown is good, as they are dirt cheap, but sharp.

Enjoying a fine documentary on AMC: Piranha, the apparently true story of a lakeside holiday weekend gone horribly wrong. Evidently before Christopher Lloyd took up acting he was a scientist breeding prehistoric Piranha at Lake Victoria when misfortune struck and they escaped. Many bikinied comely lasses are at risk, but the lakeside resort owner, a man of uncommon arrogance and hubris, does not seem to be concerned. I don't like his chances here.

Sounds like a great shave!

I hope you learn much from that educational film about the carnivorous pygocentrus nattereri. I myself have in the background (not really watching) the ever suspenseful and competitive Cornhole Championship!

That sounds amazing! Almost wish I had cable to watch it!

I caught a glimpse the other day of that tournament. I expected better. I’ve played about 4 times, and I pitch better than who I saw. These college teams looks like newbie players.
 
Great shave Bruce!

That's a good documentary.

I think that’s why the sell piranha protection bikinis now.
 
I was flipping the channels the other day and saw a bit of that collegiate corn hole competition as well. Really? Really??
