You guys are fighting above your weight class; Debbie Harry is mine. Incidentally, keep away from Linda Ronstadt - she's mine, too.
Catching up and looked up this scent.
Why I would buy it - "While the grapefruit note lightly persists throughout it generously gives way to a complex fusion of deep bourbon, classic cedar wood, and rich full grain leather."
Why Mark bought it - "I have already had too many compliments from the opposite sex to leave without it."
Dang Bruce!You guys are fighting above your weight class; Debbie Harry is mine. Incidentally, keep away from Linda Ronstadt - she's mine, too.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Continuing on with yesterday's theme, here's another gal I had a thing for back in the day. She's Stevie Nicks and the band is Fleetwood Mac. Hope you enjoy!
Fantastic shave this morning. The menthol kick from the MitA soap was just what I needed to jump start my morning! Great lather and scent with chilly, boozy, limey goodness! Finished with the matching witch hazel and aloe splash and a spray of Versace "Eau Fraiche" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
In a fusion mood again today so I'm going to feature a trio of songs by drummer extraordinaire, Dave Weckl. These cuts also feature one of my favorite bassists, Anthony Jackson and the late Chick Corea on piano and keyboard. Hope you enjoy!
Great shave this morning! Cranked the Model T up to max this morning (setting 6 / 0.79mm) just to see what it was like. Very nice shave! Two passes and a touch up was all that was needed for a wonderful BBS shave. First use of the H&V "Duc De Santal" shave soap and it was great. VERY familiar scent! I have smelled this somewhere before but I can't remember where. The website states the scent profile as:
I don't know, maybe it's the patchouli but this smells like a product I've used before and I love it! Wonderful scent. Will have to spring for the matching after shave. Finished with a splash of Epsilon Amber (a full-size bottle of this is in my future as well), and a spray of Amouage "Imitation Man" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.

Thank you, sir!

I feel the same about the Duc De Santal, it smells familiar but I can’t place it.
I think you had asked me if I would purchase again and I said probably not. The reason was that I am wanting to reduce my soap stash. But I have been re-evaluating soaps since then and it has moved into the keep stash.

I will have to find what this smells like. It's going to drive me crazy if I don't. LOL!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
On this day in 1945 the United States detonated the first atomic bomb near Alamogordo, New Mexico (code name: "Trinity") and so I thought some appropriate music was in order. Hope you enjoy!
Fantastic shave today. First use of the Nancy Boy shave cream and I can't believe I finally found it! A cream with the qualities of a great tallow soap! That's like seeing Bigfoot riding on a unicorn and getting selfies with them. WOW! This stuff is incredible! I had seen other use it and had always been curious so I finally ordered some. Just a travel size container but I'll be getting more eventually. Will have to take this along on the vacation later this year. Finished with a splash of unscented ETHOS "Clean" Skin Food and followed with the Nancy Boy balm ending with a spray of Versace "Dylan Blue" EdT. Great end to the workweek!
Hope you have a great day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Let's get some tunes going this Monday morning. Here's some Snarky Puppy & Metropole Orkfest with a trio of tunes for the Sylva album. Hope you enjoy!
Skipped shaving yesterday so today's shave was particularly nice. Went with "Velvet Wood" from CBL. Lovely scent and great lather. Went with the Zenith boar again because it's such a great brush. Finished with a splash of Epsilon "Blue Mediterranean" after shave and a spray of AdP Blu Mediterraneo "Fico di Amalfi" EdT. Wonderful!
Hope you have a great day.

We used to see her wandering around Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale shopping, just being a regular person, real easy to approach and talk to. Was the type that would ask you to share "A Bowl" LOL
You couldn't say no to that!!!
