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

[Scuttlesoap]

Beautiful shave and great report, Brian. I hope your eye doc helps you get some relief.

Thank you sir - the stye started draining so it already feels better - now just some antibiotics and back to normal

A little spice for the holiday season shave. Soap is well - smells like cider. The AS is the bomb! Nice cherry tobacco note that’s smoothed out with the whiskey notes! The cologne is the parfumerie version so naturally has a boozy rum note - this parfumerie doesn’t have the harshness if its EdT brother.

Nothing to report on the homefront - work will be busy today! get to have my first annual assessment with my new boss, yay!

have a great day cadre!

That aftershave sounds like a nice scent. But I have to say...the cover art on that soap is something I wouldn't mind staring back at me for my morning shave!

It is a powerful scent - borders on cologne level. and nothing wrong with some holiday cheer as you say

I’ve thrown down the gauntlet in the College Football 2021 thread.
Post in thread 'College football 2021'
College football 2021

So I will pay tribute to the team who I believe shall not be victorious tomorrow. Since my deck swabbing brothers are more refined than we ground pounders - I chose scents to express just that. The Jean Paul Jones is a wonderfully uptown girl, sorry - I mean upscale scent….Scent Notes: Bay Rum, Teakwood, Cedar, Bergamot, Patchouli. The bay rum is not overpowering is is a great blend with the woody notes.

The cologne is high society as well….present, commanding attention, but speaking softly as you eat your gelato sorbet at the end of your 7 course meal. No MREs here - those are reserved for the tough guys (whose name is spelled A-R-M-Y) who are engaged in battle as you (the Navy)waltz over to the lounge where footman help you put on your smoking jacket.

Top notes are Bergamot, Lemon and Petitgrain; middle notes are iris, Vetiver and Rosemary; base notes are Ambroxan and Musk.

I end this eloquent experience with a mighty YAWLP! ‘GO ARMY, beat Navy!’

I've been on a ship a few times in my life (but only a few...we were more of a helo unit in the Corps), and those deck swabbing, Uber Driving, Ice Cream Man uniform wearing squids sure like to eat...a lot...while out at sea.

Umm…your AS has triggerfish in it…might want that looked at

Happy Friday Brian!

I didn't even see that at first! Brian has a whole post-production visual effects thing happening there.

Wait until tomorrow’s shave - it is dedicated to the Army football ream! Beat Navy!

As the son of a Navy vet, I’m sorry…Army must be defeated.
