Thanks Brian! It was a bit chilly, but all good. Sounds like you had a good one as well.
I did indeed my friend!

@GearNoir this is my small Zippo stash.
On the left, gloss finish. From my wife and early 1990’s. Can’t see the year code, so not sure if it was a stamping issue or what.
Number 2: 2004 Jack Daniels, still during my drinking days.
Number 3: 2007 gloss finish with Dragon, imported from Japan. Given to me by our foreign exchange student. Zippo fluid started staining the metal. When trying to clean it up, the purple from the Dragon mostly came off. I need to polish off the rest, I guess.
Number 4: 2008 Matte finish, given to me by my stepson.
Number 5: 2022 Armor case brass with matte finish and pipe insert.

What's the scent on that soap, Tim?
If you say "same as the aftershave," you know that doesn't help me.

Uh … hm. I got nothing. There is a lot going on with this one, but I don’t have the palette to break it down. The missus said it doesn’t make the top 10. But it’s an interesting vibe.What's the scent on that soap, Tim?

Well, that was of no help at all.

The Berk is one of my all-time favorite brushes (provided the knot was one of the good ones. BEST can be widely ranging)
Which album do you play for ambience when you shave? That shave is money!

Yeah, Best Badger … hm, not always. This one is a good knot though.

Typically nothing, it’s too dang early and the house is sleeping.
But I would probably go with something slow and smooth … maybe jazz. I’ve noticed when I drive to work, my metal playlist causes some spirited driving. So that would probably be a no-no when shaving.
