I suppose that works too. And that's a $5 word!
I’ll defend your love of the Smokey campfire scent. I am with chad, I don’t really want to smell like a campfire all day unless I am camping but I am willing to smell that way most of the day...or at least in the morning. There is an artisan (outlaw soap) that makes a killer campfire/marshmallow/mountain cabin scented beard oil. They have a campfire solid cologne that is good but not quite as good as the beard oil. I have used the campfire soap from WCS and liked the scent enough but the performance was meh, he smell isn’t complex..just campfire (coal more than smoke)

They've got 3 different colognes with campfire and they're VERY proud of them

Been a little while since I've used the RX and I wasn't paying enough attention. Little weeper on my neck and some alum sting to go with it. All is well with the soap and scent though. Off to some great tastings up in Napa with a couple of my wife's friends. Been looking forward to this for a few weeks!

Have a good time and ope you can get the finish redone on the Shawshank Redemption Brush. Too cool of a brush. Maybe Eric ?

Campfire maybe not so much, but I love a good smokey, churchy scent.
Thought about that. I probably should so that I use it.
Ha! Close.Would that be since the last trip?

Lazy morning and late shave today. Just a simple shave with probably my favorite SS soap scent. I sure wish this guy would put out some more scents.
Had a great day yesterday. The first tasting we did and I posted pictures of is battling for our favorite tasting. It was at Peter Michael. I’ve owned his wine for years but have never tasted it. Don’t ask. But we finally took the plunge and scheduled a tasting. One of those places off the beaten path. It starts by using the code they give you to open the date to the property. You drive a short way through trees to their administrative house. While we waited for my wife’s friends we got to to see White House menus for dinners where their wine was served. The experience started with loading into their Surbuban for a slow drive through the property and then up and up and up. Most of their vineyard is on hillside and the road was steep enough the SUV barely made some of the end up at what is pretty much a family party pad that overlooks the valley and their vineyards. Awesome view. We learned about the history and functionality of the vineyards and then made our way back down to the tasting room. Got a flight of 2 whites and 2 reds and was rewarded with the knowledge that the wine I had bought on spec was indeed a winner. I would not hesitate to say it is the most delicious wine I’ve had to date. And sad to say, while the rest of the day was top notch it’s hard to compete when you start with the best.

It was an odd morning where I really didn’t know which soap to use. Grey and rainy and picked a darker scent. I’m a little bummed with the Timeless’ performance as of late. I remembered it as one I could grab for a nice smooth shave. Well it isn’t as smooth as the 6S. And every time I use it I’m reminded of that. It’s just so darn pretty though.
Not much planned today. Which is a good thing. Plenty to do during the week.

Sorry the Timeless isn't doing it for you lately. Same dry weather @DocHoliday0831 TJ has here but should get some later in the week and next week.
Seems like the weather these days just ain't what it's supposed to be any more.

I shaved late enough yesterday and got a close enough shave that this morning I was still DFS if not darn near BBS. So simple, but always effective shave with the Super Speed this morning. Good stuff. Couple of the Cadre have been talking about getting Mr @Smattayu to make them a brush. I'm getting the itch again too, but like a tattoo really need to get a sweet design in my head.
Was hoping to finally get my hair cut today, but have a committee meeting so that means shirt and tie and no cut. Should be a mellowish week so that's good. Summer break is sneaking up on us and I feel like I should be doing something to prepare, but really not sure what.
