Nothing more refreshing than a Gin & tonic in the summer so yes it is the bes for hot weather
Thanks Don, I indeed hope so
Thanks Chris, I wasd on the beta test for that, definitely not a clone or even close, in my opinion. Nice , but very generic in my opinion, not up to his usual par IMHO
Thanks
Chad does not even have a nose that works properly. he is fragrance handicapped so I just laugh at the young Padawan's efforts. He may become a Jedi some day, LOL
Again, as stated earlier nothing is more refreshing than a tall Gin & tonic with lime in the heat of summer, and Juniper Sling is A Gin and Tonic for the skin, LOL. All the others you mentioned are good, but not as good to me, Thanks Josh
You of all people, you can't even smell Stella Alpina correctly.....Tumbleweeds? It has no fragrance note even close to Russian Thisle, HAHAHA. It is OK though, at least you are trying. You will grow into your fragrance Big Boy pants someday. Until then, "You keep tryin Sparky" ROFL

Wow, two full days without shaving. For me that is a record, but lately it seems there are not enough hours in the day all of a sudden. I did not realize how much stuff was being neglected during the regular career, only for it to become a log jam now. slowly working through it all. Today we are heading to 108 degrees, so something ice cold was needed to counteract the surface of the sun.
The Creeper of course! I also had not used by Kami since it's return from a vacation to see Don, so loaded up with a fresh Pro-Guard, away we went. Not much else to say on the Lavender Creeper that was not covered by Josh's fantastic review. He nailed it. This is just fantastic stuff, and again, too bad it wont be produced again, and the scalpers are already trying to take advantage. On a recent search some bonehead was selling a set for $700.00. , and he will probably get it.
So the lather was stellar, as was the shave, and of course the creeping up and a smack of frozen goodness. 3-passes today and DSBBS, finished off with the cold lavender goodness of the splash, and a few dotties of the same for fragrance, another perfect combo for the summer that showed up WAAY to early this year.
Set-up:
Again, sorry for getting sooo behind on your journals, will attempt to rectify that today or tomorrow.
Have a GREAT day

Well Dave, now that 100% of your time is focusing on either shaving, cutting hair or various fowl, it is good to see you so engaged in all of those activities. I take it all to mean that you are loving and enjoying life, and just don't have the time to devote to talking about it here like you used to when your working days were filled with property/casualty/life insurance issues. I am looking forward to hearing about barber school. I hope that you are able to have the shop on auto-pilot, at least as much as a new and budding business can be, while you are in school.
Nice shave today Dave. Between The Lavender Creeper and Iced Pineapple, you could go every other day between those two and be a very happy person. Amazing what the scalpers are doing with that product, and unfortunately yes, they'll probably get that or close to it with the way the market is going.
What can I say Dave that others haven't already .So I will just say that is a stunning pic! Love the darkness to it.
Great shaves, pictures, and reads Dave!
What 2 days without a shave, you'll beat my record!
Thanks Craig, LOL
Thanks I hope so too, LOL
As I get older it is getting to that point, thanks Dave

After reading some trials and errors on a few folks trying to get into the Knighthood of the Veg, it was a good day to bring out the Manly arsenal of the Green Goddess and Mr. Tabac. This Special elixir was use in the TabacaVeg Wars where the evil one-handed Imatabor was defeated by his own blade.
1st off if you have not decanted, in glass, the Veg for at least 2 months, then indeed the Green Goddess may not have the niceties to take you from Squire to Knight, much less the further honor of becoming "The Order of TabacaVeg. So DECANT good man DECANT!
today the Stark and all its chopping glory was the perfect sword for the epic shave. The CBL "Veg" is a wonderful soap worthy of the Knighthood and Elite all the way from performance to fragrance.
3-passes today for an Epic DSBBS (G) (10) shave. Chad's confusing Soap rating system has nothing on my really confusing shave rating system! Huzzah!
The shave was followed by an obscene amount of the Lilac Splash all over, including anyone who dare venture into the shave closet. It was everywhere! This was followed up by some talc, and of course the Orignal and ever changing bottle of magic in a cologne TabacaVeg,
Today gave honor to those fellow Knights of the Veg, as well as those chosen few of us that are the "Order of TabacaVeg" HUZZAH!!
Set-up:
Have a Wonderful day, both Chosen and you unlucky rabble of mortals that are not chosen, LOL. We shall pray for your souls, LOL
