I love presents!
I'll report back by the end of the night. The last time I wore it, it was hanging in there for more than a couple of hours. It's been about two hours today and it's still going strong. But for $8, you can't go wrong. This was definitely a pleasant surprise of a purchase.
Truth. But that's not my job.
Thanks, Tim! Photoshop Express is an easy and free way to spice up your SOTD pics.

Nice shave and read Ben! Dragonsbeard is my favorite scent out of any soap and I am super stoked for when Frank releases it again in his base. I like Oleo's products, but I am just excited to have a favorite scent and soap base in one soap. Also I have just discovered Gillette Rubies and I must say they are pretty spectacular.
I'm glad you have two more days off and that the other paramedic is helping you out a lot. That definitely makes work easier.
Have a good one Ben!

My pics are low maintenance. Put stuff on the counter, click, done.
It's definitely a great, dynamic scent. I think I might 3017 it when the new base comes out. Rubies are great too.
easier is better too
It was still strong when I went to bed at midnight, so at least 6 hours worth. I can smell it if I jam my beak into my shirt, but it's not nearly as strong.

Sounds good, thanks
Gracias, hermano! Sometimes you filter motor oil, sometimes you filter coffee, and sometimes you filter pictures.

So an explanation that I know you're all dying for. I think most of us know that the scent strength of the 2nd Anniversary CBL additions were almost absent. So naturally I did a science. I drowned this puck in Florida Water for more than a few hours, and stupidly I didn't keep track of how much I poured or how long it sat. Totally borrowed the concept from making custom Williams pucks. The end product! It had a light FW scent off the puck, noticable, but light. The dip in FW didn't effect how it lathered, which was something I thought might happen. What did happen was a complete removal of residual slickness. I can only assume that the concoction that is Florida Water stripped some of the oils that facilitated the residual slickness. Primary slickness was effected quite a bit too, but not nearly as much as residual. Maybe it'll work better with a DE because my cleanup pass went really smoothly. More science will be done in the near future. BBS with minimal irritation.
I now have a cat sitting on my chest as I type this up. I suspect Emma craves attention, and I must oblige. I hope you're all well. Thanks for reading my questionable science.
There was definitely enough primary slickness to make for a comfortable SR shave, but it wasn't as slick as it was before the experiment. I suspect that because DEs don't require super duper slickness it'll be much less noticable.
Ahhhhh, you running for Governor?
Agree 100%. And should a mistake be made, own it and move on.
I'm running for mayor of my own apartment. I have some stiff competition this season! Venessa is not afraid to fight dirty and she knows where I live!
