Not a better soap that captures Pink Floyd and the Album "Animals" Industrial, Smokey and a bit odd. Typical of A&E a great performer and a bit strange in the scent realm and fits perfectly with Eucris. There is alot going on here with pink pepper, pink grapefruit, bergamot, & tangerine blend into a heart of coriander, lavender, cinnamon, pink rose, myrrh, black currant, and berries. But this scent still isn’t done. A base of sandalwood, Haitian vetiver, amber, patchouli, musk, and vanilla provide a pleasing, powdery finish.

3 passes with the Blackbird and a great shave to finish off the month.

THE KONA FILES:
Like the lyrics of the above album, and the Song "Dogs"...

You got to be crazy, gotta have a real need, got to sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently down wind and out of sight, you got to strike when the moment is right, without thinking

This is Kona "El Doggo" in a nutshell when it comes to him and "Treats" Today was no exception and he was able to score 3 pieces of Duck Jerky, some chicken Jerky, and all before 6:30 am. He definitely picked out the "easy meat"

Thanks for stopping by

Amazing album from start to finish!

Sometimes when I text B Dave and he’s working it takes a while for him to respond. I just realized I should just look up the shop number and start calling him. 😁
 
Well......I may have to get me some of that there wh. I'll have to wait and see which one you start promoting......gotta show loyalty to the proper brand.
Another consideration would be Stirling Soap Co.

They don’t stock as many flavors as they do soaps and aftershaves.

Of the ones normally in stock, I like Lemon chill, Orange Chill, Bergamot Lavender, and Eucalyptus Mint.

Being in the desolation of the desert 🏜, you might find the menthol in the lemon and orange refreshing.

And…Stirling was one of our convention sponsors.

Good shave today to celebrate the 3000 sr shaves. Had not used the Vorpal in a while and it is still a great razor. All other characters worked well together. Back to the shop today, and a busy week.

The Kona files:
El Doggo decided to sleep in today, but in style on the bed. He was snoozing when I left, I guess it was his day off😆
