MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

[MarkB]

Man, going all out with the Clubman! Just missing some hair product!

I’m indifferent to the scent. It doesn’t get brought out much though, in favor of things I do like better.

My hair is rapidly going away. The top of my head looks like a forest clear-cutting site.

How do you like the Aquamarine?

How do you like the Aquamarine?

Performance is great, like the other Fine soaps I have. Scent is a little on the light side but nice. I give it 4 out of 5 guitars.

Sorry, MarkMs on a mental scent-cation right now. Leave a message after the beep and he’ll get back to you after the good smells fade.

BEEEEEP.

I'm enjoying the ABC shaves people have been sharing. My den isn't capable of covering even half the days, but it's fun to see all the products this month is bringing out.

 

[GearNoir]

After starting to watch Parks n Rec, I’ll never see the name Haverford in the same way...

I actually watched Parks and Rec because I saw the description of this soap. Personally, I'm much more of a Ron Swanson fan.
