I'd like to know who first thought "muhuhu" would make for good lather?

I'm no soapmaker but I believe that was more of a scent thing than a performance thing. That said who names these things?

 

[MilkCrate]

Wel ... the scent description sounds interesting.

Cadre Friday?

Yes sir Mowing the yard and more bathroom demolition.

Nice shave Dave! Increasing the shave storage along with the bathroom resize?

I think about that a lot too. Especially with some unique foods...”Man, how desperate was the first person to say ‘that looks edible’ and try and eat that?”

Thanks Chris ! Nope, this is the Master Bathroom. Shave Den is in spare bathroom

2019 Shave # 286 ( 339 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Schick E 300 Mag Injector
Blade: Schick (4)
Brush: @Graydog Custom Synthetic
Soap: Declaration Grooming Dirtyver
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Fragrance: Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

Busy day got busier when I had an unexpected leak to fix. Late day shave at @2:45 so just a 2 pass since I'll be shaving again in the morning just over 12 hours later. Got a Dirtyver sample awhile back so when I was offered it as a trade for one of my soaps, I jumped at the chance to get it. Great soap and scent. Have a great day Cadre............what's left of it anyway !!

 

[GearNoir]

That Dirtyver sounds divine!

Thanks Chris ! Nope, this is the Master Bathroom. Shave Den is in spare bathroom

Just do what the politicians do and porkbarrel it all into the bill for the master...$600 for a hammer, $451.99 for a new faucet seal, that new toilet seat lid is at least a good $298!

It's more like cut back spending to get the remodel done with cash rather than a loan and the new truck engine happens in a couple weeks while we are camping. It pains me to think of all my shaving cash going to such practical nonsense

Dirtyver and a bullet handle, there's a KY shave!

Two ASs? You mix 'em, or was one a do-over?

Humphrey's is my standard like others use Witch Hazel and I usually have a matching fragrance aftershave as well. The other day when I skipped the 2nd was out of the ordinary

Ah, ok, I didn't realize #1 was a wh. I use a splash of unscented wh after my shave and before my AS too. I also sneak some alum in before the wh. The more, the merrier . . . .

Nice setup sir! I hope you enjoyed the Blu. I received your Rossa sample, thank you very much. I’m on my way to St. Louis, so I have to wait to use the Rossa.

What did he think it was going to play? Wasn't the smartest decision he made.

Stood there unable to decide what to use until I pulled an old friend down to use which was hiding behind aftershaves. Love this scent and had an excellent shave. Tired already and a busy day ahead. Have a great day Cadre !!
