Today's shave brought to you by Barrister and Mann. Limited edition release "Saguesera" boasts cedar, violet, coconut, lime & allspice along with rum. Great soap and scent. Wish they had made a matching frag for it.

Good morning all!

PAA's "Strange Island" on the brush today. Very unique scent. Dry with antiseptic-like, nigh "medicinal" characteristics. The Sage and lavender are very forward with the Copaiba Balsam adding some light woody notes underneath. Great scent and a nice change-up.

Good morning all!

Today's shave will focus on notes of Rose, Bergamot, Oakmoss & Vetiver along with Talc, Coumarin and Musk

For today's shave I went with one of my favorite soaps and scents; Phoenix Shaving's CaD. According to the website it's patterned after an unnamed canned shaving foam. Don't know which one it is but I love it!Very refreshing my wife absolutely loves it. After I bought the soap and splash I went ahead and sprung for the EdP as well. Hell, I went so far as to get one of their car vent clips with this fragrance to keep in my truck!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Quick one today gents as I have to actually go into work. It looks like the state is implementing a 25% at work policy for the time being. I guess this the their way of transitioning into full work force...form the goings on. Anyway...great shave today as always with Lisa's soaps. I paired the the floral, wood, and spices of the soap with the citrus, grass, and floral scents of the aftershave for a really nice pairing. Not perfect...but complimentary.

Good morning all!

AdP Colonia is a scent that fit's this month's bill perfectly! Sicilian Citrus, Lemon Verbena, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine & Rosemary along with Amber and Musk. One of my favorite, year-round scents.
