Nothing beats Irisch Moos. Why on earth obscure that perfect scent with anything else? Just get the Irisch Moos cologne!

Very good point - i do have it on my wish list!
Evidence suggests your "wish" list is really a "to do" list.

This is IMO, one of the best tea forward scents out there - and one of my favorites. Just an all around fantastic job by B&M. First time with the PAL and I’m am glad to have this in my collection. I am glad I didn’t do what I had planned - which was to use this first as a noggin shaver - I definitely needed time to get used to the nuances of this razor - but overall a great experience.
Today Aidan has music therapy and hopefully we’ll have a sunny and warm day!
Have a wonderful day my friends!

Thank you brother!Hope you and Aidan both have a great day!
Thank you Tim!
It seems to be doing ok - this being my first time I don’t know how it is supposed to feel other than a few videos I’ve seen on YT. It’s new old stock - so give me a week before I break it
The PAL does take a little time to dial in and the angle is a bit different. Super cool razor in every way shape and form!
Another Barrister and Mann that I simply must pick up someday. I’m a massive Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy fan, was never quite sure if I’d be down with this scent though. I do love got tea, so maybe I’ll snag it at some point!
Lovely brush too!
It has a nice citrus at the top and blended in with floral - very unique combo….
Very nice.
Thank you my friend

No - I am not driving anywhere today There is something about the scent of whiskey. I don’t know what appeals to me about boozy scents - prior to COVID - I would have the occasional beer (and who wants to smell like hops lol?), and the only whisk(e)y (or any spirit) I would drink would be a 15 year Red Breast on my birthday, St Pats (because Gertz is Irish no matter what my family says), and Christmas Eve. On St Pats I would splurge and have some Carolyn’s Irish Cream in my coffee. But to me, other than citrus, that boozy scent - done well, is just appealing.
Did a noggin shave and hopefully will post a recommendation video on what to consider when doing head shaves (not that my opinion matters).
Excited for Aidan tomorrow - he gets to go to the zoo and feed the animals - one of his favs - on a school field trip. Today I had a bizarre conversation with an employee where we both agreed (without any conflict) - that their skill sets were not a good fit for the team. Usually those conversations go a different direction, but they know I am working on finding them a position in the company to help their career. TBH - I don‘t know how the mixup happened in the beginning. But, I have set up meetings this afternoon with other execs to get this person placed so we can have a happy ending to all this mess.
I am in the mood for a Reuben for some reason. As long as it is an Irish (like me) Reuben.
Have a great day everyone!

Kudos to your colleague. The world would be a better place if more folks knew their limitations.
What is your technique for lathering Cremo with a brush?
Listen, man, I said I was sorry when I thought network support meant watching TV most of the day.
I would be more concerned with the goalie who let that puck slip past.SOTD: 04/13/2022

I read "not a good fit for the team" as simply that, not a good fit for the team. I've been the person on both sides of that equation over the years. A good company/boss will try like crazy to keep you with the company to preserve their investment and institutional knowledge. Kudos to you, Brian.
