Seriously though! Just when we thought it was safe to think about possibly maybe a little bit beginning to get things back to normal...

Rush shave this morning before heading to the hospital for my injections. Went with Fine's "Aquamarine" & "M&L Florida Water".. THe soap is my go-to-in-a-hurry soap and I wanted to try the splash since i was new. It's light scent wouldn't be too out of place at the hospital.
Notes from today's shave; lemon, sweet orange, oakmoss, driftwood from the soap and bergamot, neroli, lemon, lavender, rose & orange flower from the splash (other notes as well but these apply to the month's shave theme).

When they tell you "Just a little poke," it's time to grit your teeth. I usually tell people "This won't hurt me a bit..."

Is this actually a FW aftershave? Or you mean just the regular FW?
Regular FW I assume. Didn’t know there were different versions. Worked well as an AS splash. No more “burn” to me than your typical alcohol-based splash.

I don’t think there are, other than the “Peruvian” brand that’s been discussed...was just making sure!
FTR mine is the Peruvian blend. Don’t know what differences there are between the two.I don’t think there are, other than the “Peruvian” brand that’s been discussed...was just making sure!

Good morning all! Today's shave brought to you by Phoenix Shaving's "Black Bot" and Avon's "Öland". Great combination with (in addition to musk) bergamot, lavender, oakmoss & cedar from the soap coupled with the bay leaf, woody, tobacco scent from the splash.
Hope everyone has a great day!

That is a nice smelling fruity forest! Love your Super Adjustable too!
Thanks Don! That razor was a "face eater" when I first got it. Had to adjust my technique a little bit when using it. Now it gives me great shaves.
