No, you obviously didn’t listen. I said the new versions of Penhaligon‘s suck. The fragrance house is still nice if they brought back their old stuff and Flores is one of my favorites I think I will buy you a box of Q-tips, so you can clean out your ears, and possibly a appointment for an ophthalmologist so you can see what you’re reading😂🤣😂

If I ever had to choose a set up that I could live with over time, this would be it. Bright, fresh, and a fantastic way to start the day. My number two in the den, the Pannacrema is just plain outstanding. Was excited to see they finally came out with a aftershave product. The balm emulsifies quick, however I would love to see a splash as well. The ADG is now “re-stocked” and is the perfect accompaniment to the Verde.
With the BRW is was darn near the perfect shave!

Have a nice day folks

It is so nice to re-discover the shave gear, after the challenge. Today the Tradere, and such a wonderful shaver, as are most Blackland products. 2nd run with the Darwin, and it is very much like DRH Arlington but with a bit more citrus, and the soap is also a bit better. The only complaint is the “delivery system” of the aftershave. I get the feel of the “vintage” feel of the bottle, but as @NurseDave mentioned, with no reducer and a bad cork top, it is a bit of a challenge. A quick search finds an old “barber bottle” Pinaud reducer and cap works ok.

All other accoutrements were very nice for a DSBBS shave. The 1962 is a huge star, however it being unobtanium now I should have purchased more. Great juice


So nice to be back to “real” shaving

Have a great day folks!
 
Angry Old Man Syndrome affects 4 out of every 5 Daves. Its effects can be soothed with unnecessary watch purchases and expensive aftershaves. Northern California variants are only soothed by tea cups that don't look like tea cups. Symptoms include yelling at soaps and buying cuff links.
 
Angry Old Man Syndrome affects 4 out of every 5 Daves. When dealing with certain members from Las Vegas on a daily basis. Efffects can be soothed with wonderous watch purchases, cigar, scotch, and expensive aftershaves. Northern California variants are only soothed by tea cups , that are the envy of the world. Symptoms include yelling at soaps and buying cuff links.
