Reasons why I mix my coffee with whiskey, my list of bodies I have buried in the woods, and other thoughts while shaving

[heysi]

Brian's junk smells like skunk?? Do I want to ask how you know?

 

[Graybeard57]

But you said skunk.

Uh, yeah, I did say skunk. Ya;ll just keep your junk where it belongs!

Razor: Ralf Aust 6/8” Spanish Tip
Brush: AKA Brushworx Bubblelicious
Bowl: Fendrihan Apothecary White Mug
Soap: MacDuffs Shave Company Christmas Cabin Puck
Aftershave: Eyüp Sabrí Tuncer Tiras Kolonyasi No 2 Aftershave
Balm: Zingari Man Unscented Vegan Balm
Additional Care: Zingari Man Rescue Potion
Fragrance: Dunhill Icon Racing Red EdP

In an effort to appease our nursing faction - I am going with the deeper scents - even though the weather here wants to stay warm. Vox Populi, Vox Dei (I’m taking back the phrase)……..Christmas Cabin fits the bill of a nice wintery scent…..with a touch of spice and a touch of woods - not overpowering on either - and gives you that cold winter cabin feel. Dunhill Icon Racing Red - is much deeper than the original which is very sporty - this one has been compared to Versace Eros - very much along those lines. Speaking of Eros - Master Soap just released an Eros homage - what were they thinking? Do they not know that I completed the shopping season? Sheesh!

The razor is now to my liking - Ralf Aust is a very talented razor maker - but this now has a Blade Edge by @Bill M ®(patent pending) - so it hacked down the whiskers with ease. A joy to shave with.

Have a wonderful day my friends.

Love that brush! Is that olive wood scales on the straight?

Thank you my friend (an early gift from me for the brush)……..Those are indeed olive wood scales - it’s my favorite wood for scales because I like the look - plus from what I’ve read - pretty good with repelling water.

Thank you Chris! I know I got a few new straights in the mail this week - but Bill M turned around so quickly on the ones that I gave him and I love his edges!

I am THAT crazy about citrus!

Brian, that excuse may work elsewhere, but not here! We know you too well, sir.

Razor: Blackland Vector
Brush: AKA Brushworx The Deep
Bowl: The Razor Company Mocha Bowl
Soap: Ethos Grooming Blue Note Croap
Aftershave: Zingari Man Unscented Aftershave
Balm: Crowne & Crane Frenchmen St Balm
Fragrance: Maison Margiela Jazz Club EdT

Well what a way to start the day - with your favorite frag of all time! Ethos is doing a collab with The Razor Company - right now it is just 1 oz samples - but confirmed from Dragonbeard himself - that the full tubs and AS will soon be released as well - which I will be sure to get! Dragonsbeard did a fantastic job on the scent (we all know his base is fantastic)! Brings me back to my college days - one of my favorite dates in college was to a jazz club called Zanzibar Blue.

Today I get to meet Aidan’s brand new support aide who will be working on life skills with him.

I hope every one has a fantastic day!

In my defense - the primary note is RUM - which makes a great nog.
