Zoologist, been a while since we've seen that around these parts! Sure wish I matched with their scents more because I love the potency.

Good Shave today, no video just the shave as I had some errands to take care of preparing for my writtens exams on Thursday in Phoenix. SV's Mirto di Sardegna is a wonderfully spicy blend on the top of Lemon, Lime and Lavender, that is helped along with some amber and crepe myrtl. and although the soap deepens post shave you really dont get the Sandalwood Vetiver or White Moss till sometime later, Happy both winter and summer it does give quite the olfactory hit upon initial sniff. The performance of the 4.3 Beta is outstanding, as are all of the soaps.

Did 3-passes today with a bit of clean-up and DSBBS all the way. finishes with a few drops of the Aftershave, some talc and a finish of a few Vasilli's of the custom fragrance Tom has made for me in Paris and gave to me for Christmas.. Good Shave means Good Day!
