Ramblings of a MilkCrate

[MilkCrate]

Shave Guinea pig…fun!

Nice picks ups from the shave shops. Which scent is Intrepid Man made after again?

Thanks Chris!

Not sure if it’s an homage to anything. Here is the description.



It is lighter than I would like, but still smells good. My wife said I need to try Deep Blue Sea next.

It’s based off of Creed Original Santal (which Ironically isn’t the original - if you have smelled Mont Blanc Individuel - same scent - there‘s a little history behind Creed and the Perfumer for Mont Blanc Individuel which is a fascinating story in itself)…….but back to the soap - Rod had purchased Original Santal and liked it so Made the homage.

Nice! I didn’t know that, thanks Brian!

Th

Deep Blue Sea

That is based off of Bleu de Chanel - one of my favs - your wife has good taste!

 

[woodpusher]

... your wife has good taste!

Hang on a sec..... eye surgery fixes that too?

Dude … she already had good taste, she married me.

 

[woodpusher]

So you're saying that she had eye surgery years before as well?


My wife mixes up "good taste" and "mental lapse" but I tell her that it's all legal and binding, no matter how she tries to slice it up.

Really well, thanks for asking. It’s fun watching her see things anew. She is having to adjust to readers, but no big deal.

I always shave brother. Since I am using the same kit during the work week, I thought my journal might get boring. But I do need to get better about my updates.

 

[woodpusher]

You want boring, repetitive posts? Come to my journal.

 

[August West]

Boring?

New York Times
Your Journal
BBC
Al Jazeera

Every morning in that order.

 

[GearNoir]

Can greatness be boring?

Not when it comes to shaves!
