Birthday Shave! 🍰

Being the big Bay Rum fan that I am. I had to go with the PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum ensemble again. Love the performance of the PAA prosucts but the scent is just heavenly! I also broke out my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable I bought years ago. Man, I had forgotten what a great shaver it is! Gonna have to keep on using it.

Nice Shave Mark! A bunch of you really like that Deton-8. Looks like I will have to look for some!

The Deton-8 is a fairly good representation of SpiceBomb. Better act quickly though. I think Stirling is discontinuing it.

Good morning everyone! Hope your Christmas was great. It's Thursday but Feels like Monday.. Jeez these mid week holidays really screw with me. Very impressed with the PAA Star Jelly sample. Lightly mentholated and very soothing.

You may be surprised by a little research it was looked down on in the states to for.....reasons worth researching
The ban by the Puritans was revoked in 1681 by an English appointed governor, Edmund Andros; however, it was not until the mid-19th century that celebrating Christmas became fashionable in the Boston region. By the Declaration of Independence in 1776, it was not widely celebrated in the U.S.
