I actually don't get suntan lotion at all. What I get is Coconut and rum. But in a good way...not boozy. It's supposed to be inspired by Creed Virgin Island Water. I can dig out a sample if you want one KJ.

Nope, no AS with this one. And that’s ok, I love the scent of Tommy Bahama.
Oh mercy man, I’d have to deal with that too! Don’t worry, I have just the right thing planned.Maybe make tomorrow a Veg day since everyone will be forced to endure?
You gonna go full bore GTB on them ain’t ya!
2018 shave #205 (DE:58 SE:75 Str:74 Cart:2)
Merkur 38c w/ Feather (3)
GTB
Sorrentino TSC brush
Witch Hazel & Alum
Nivea Post Shave balm
GTB AS
GTB EdP
TJ hit it on the head. I like to share the GTB when I'm going on a flight, so I thought I'd be nice enough to share it with OR #6 today. Shaving gods were looking down on me and I ended up with a no alum sting BBS without clean-up. I haven't really run across a brush that doesn't work with a particular shave, but this is one. Guys, using the TSC brush with GTB is like wearing your suede dress shoes into the saloon. Ya need a little more scritch in your hitch, if you know what I mean. Other than that, GTB BABY!!
My wife has been out of town for a few days for business, so I'm off to get her at the airport in a few minutes. Then drop the bag at home a
nd off to the hospital. See ya on the flip side, brothers.

Was checking in to see and hoping the same thing. Hope you are just resting up !!
I'm here guys! Whew! Doc said everything went well. Without all the details, that night and yesterday were a little rough. I even fell behind in watching shave videos! Trade one type of pain for another and the need to be seconds away from a rest room all the time. Have a stent in now that gets removed next week. Heard that's a pretty special experience as well. Today is much better. Still working from home because physical proximity of a rest room is still of vital importance.

Good to see you posting and hope things continue to mend.
Yesterday's shave
2018 shave #206 (DE:58 SE:76 Str:74 Cart:2)
Asylum "The Doctor" RX w/ Feather Proguard (7)
Sapone Di Paolo Agrume (Lime & Basil)
Plisson 24mm knot in Shave Revolution handle
Witch Hazel & Alum
Nivea Post Shave balm
Bleu de Chanel
Didn't post much if at all yesterday. Did finally force myself to get into the shower around dinner time which felt good, and you really shouldn't have a shower without a shave. Just grabbed a loaded razor and did a quick two pass that ended in DFS. That was enough just to feel better. I have the Terroso scent of Sapone Di Paolo and really like it. With the Groomatorium clearance, I thought I'd pick up a few more of their scents. I'd say the Sapone Di Paolo performance is in line with Chisled Face or Captain's Choice. Perfectly serviceable without top markings in any one category other than scents if they hit your wheelhouse. I like this one as well. I would say the lime note is there for sure, but I wouldn't say I can pick out basil specifically. It's more of a lime with seasoning or herbs. Don't think I got the post shave cream with this one, but I should have.

Nice shave Dave. Good to see you on here again.
I know you are on the mend but you will still be in my thoughts. Everything should go great...but I want my favorite Californian Nurse to get back to his good old self. I have always wondered about SdP soaps. They have some wonderful description of soaps!
