Good morning Cadre!

Conference call last night with the other members of the band and we decided to cancel our remaining shows for the month of March. Once April rolls around we'll reassess.

Used a "cream" cream this morning other than the typical "croap". Great shave! The Yaqi paired with the Stirling bowl produced a great lather. Unfortunately, there was nothing very "lime-y" about the "Fresh Lime" cream. In all honesty, there was nothing very "Old Spice-y" about it either..

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Should any of you find yourselves in this area of the country (willingly or otherwise), you should know what to expect.

One musician I follow started a livestream on FB yesterday. He’s going to do it for about an hour a day for the next two weeks. Something to think about if you still feel like playin!

Another interesting label. I haven't heard of that one.

Great soap and scent! According to the Phoenix Shaving website, it's patterned after a short-lived aftershave from Gillette called "Sun Up".

According to the PAA website:

Scent Profile: Talc, Oakmoss, Lemon, Petitgrain, Bergamot, Lavender, Rose, Animalic Musk, Clary Sage, Vetiver & Sandalwood.

Personally, I can detect the talc, oakmoss, lemon, petitgrain, bergamot and sandalwood. Not as strong, but definitely there are rose and lavender.

To my nose the petitgrain really stands out. After a couple of hours now and can get the sandalwood, sage and sandalwood.

 

[NurseDave]

petitgrain

Had to google that
