For me, and with the more "advanced scents" (think Grooming Dept), your part is a whole lot more helpful.

While helpful, this is can be confusing: "...a blend of bergamot, spices, vetiver, black pepper, leather, ebony tree, patchouli, tonka bean, and woodsy notes. Swap some of them out for something stranger (again, think GD) and no one has a clue what it smells like in 'real life'."

This summary can be much more helpful, giving a as a whole summary: "I get a nice mix of the spice and citrus with woodsiness on a leather backdrop."


As @NurseDave eluded to, don't sell yourself short. [emoji846]

Nice!

The pic in my head when I read "shower done" was very different that what I saw when I scrolled down. *whew* We dodged a bullet on that one. 🕺

BTW it doesn't look level, or is that on purpose for drainage? 🤪

Always hunting the ankles..................angled to get the whole shower in the pic in a cramped corner.

Shave # 338 ( 391 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Gillette Raised Flat Bottom
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: SV 30mm Zircote
Soap: Clown Puke
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: LNHC Post Shave Elixir
Fragrance: PdP #63 EdT

Took my new to me 3 piece RFB for a spin around scraping off the Clown Puke suds whipped up with the SV Brush. Last pass I went to a heavier brass handle as recommended by @The Monkey and it feels better. Glad I got the 3 piece model now and may get it re-plated eventually. Shave felt as smooth as can be although afterwards I felt a little raw. Has to be the dry windy weather wreaking havoc on my skin. Decided I need to use @LNHC elixir on a daily basis to combat the effects. I've said it before but I'll repeat. I hate.................HATE balms and how they make my skin feel but this stuff is AWESOME. Feels good after absorbing in and does it's job. Lisa is this discontinued or just a low stock? What replaces it. Tried to buy 2 this morning and 1 was pulled from my cart due to out of stock.............. NOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!
Cold, windy and damp day today but have to head out to go work in it..................after more coffee and Carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Have a great day Cadre !!!!

The weather doesn't sound too fun, but you had carrot cake and coffee. Hopefully Lisa can fix your shaving world. Have a good one, Dave!
