Very nice music, though when driving I like something more lively. This would have me so relaxed I might drive right off the road!
I understand but remember, this is but one song out of a 20 album discography. It's not all like this.

I was going to take my son to see Protocol at The Iridium in NYC. Then Covid happened. I really want to see Simon Phillips as I've never seen him play before. Yet I've been listening to him for decades ever since I heard him playing on Jeff Beck's There and Back. I'm hoping they can reschedule Protocol. I'd also check him out with Hiromi.

Good morning all! Hope everyone had a pleasant night.
First things first... Have a good one for you all today on WMRK's "Morning Music".. Let head to "Hitsville USA"!!! Here's Jr. Walker & The All Stars & The Temptations!!!
Back to the "June Shave Theme" shave this morning. Went with LNHC Barber Shoppe today. Again, I find it interesting how differently the category of "Barber Shop" scents is interpreted.. Smells great, but not a Barber Shop scent IMY. Great comfortable shave though.. Finished with Stirling's "Barbershop" splash & EdT.
Thanks for reading and hope you have a great day!!

There's really no such thing as a barbershop scent. They vary so widely. I think it's more of an idea, something the invokes the memory of a barbershop. Pinaud Clubman is number one for me because that's what I grew up smelling in barbershops back home; Clubman talc lined the counters of every single barber. Others grew up smelling bay rum. It's really an interesting "genre" of scents.

I'm assuming it's the incomparable James Jamerson on the Temptations track. When I was living in Philly playing in a band, I lived with our bass player. He would practice Jamerson tracks for hours on end. Ever since, when I hear a Motown track, it's the bass I focus on.

Agreed. I'm with you in the Clubman = Barbershop camp. I also grew up going to barbershops which had the splash and talc on the back bar.
You are correct! That cat could make anything swing!! He was definitely a singular voice on the instrument.. Inimitable!

Glad to come upon this topic.
From what I can remember from the 1st barbershop my dad took me too. They used Pinaud Clubman. Back then (4yrs old or so) I thought that was the best scent ever!!
Then when I moved about 7yrs later I noticed that my barber didn't use aftershave. But he would dust the back of your neck with Clubman talc. Liked it, but still like the splash better.
So while there are many takes on barbershop scent. Pinaud Clubman is what always first comes to mind for me.
The 1st time I smelled LNHC Barbershop it reminded me of my parents friends house back in the late 80's. I'm not sure what that scent was or who made this scent back then. But their bathroom smelled just like it? It lingered outside if the door was open too. Anyway I liked it, thought it was a classy sent and always wondered if I would ever smell it again?
I never go to a modern barbershop or hair stylist. So it wasn't what I was expecting when I opened the tub of LNHC'S barbershop. But I'm glad to have found this scent profile again. Plus it's a good quality shave soap.

Yeah that seems like a great descriptor, Chris.
Bay Rum is another I consider a "Barber Shop" scent. It was used at the old place my dad took me to as well. Another thing that is a Barber Shop scent to me is Clubman Eau de Quinine hair tonic. That stuff will take you back as well! I have a bottle here and use it every day.Glad to come upon this topic.

Just before I moved across town. The barber I was going to always used bay rum. I think it was Stephen's bay rum.
Now I just get a clipper cut at the local beauty school. The place has an older barbershop vibe to it. No aftershave or talc used there. But I can get my head shaved for $7. Give them a $2 tip and they are very appreciative.
Next store they have a beauty salon. Can get a pedicure for $15. Usually takes them about 50min or so. Feel pretty good after sitting in the messaging chair for that long. The pedi is just a nice extra.
I think you've nailed it, Ben. For me, I love all barbershop scents; they just smell good IMO.
Your musical tastes run the gamut, Mark. Not surprising, being that you're a musician.
