A late, lazy shave this morning with sweet honeysuckle bringing back good memories, while the radio had Mozart's 'Marriage of Figaro' from the Met in New York. Wonderful.

I’VE BEEN CHOSEN!!!

I smell like the KING OF SPRING & I used the 3 floral wisemen- Thayer, Taylor, & Pinaud.

Brush: Omega 10098 Boar

Soap: TOBS Lavender

Razor: Gem Junior open comb

Blade: Gem SE (umpteenth shave)

Post Shave: Thayer’s Rose WH

Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Lilac Vegetal

Daughter says I smell like a barber shop and cleaner- wife says I smell like baby powder and old lady, but says if I like it, more power to me- which MEANS it isn’t verboten- she says that about tabac. She says I smell like a 90 year old woman. I’m gonna go ahead and disagree. She says your sister would say you smell like a grandma. So. Yeah. “You smell like my grandma.” Whatever, Lol, grandma smelled like the Hungarian cavalry so there’s that. Anyway, I like it, I like the way it feels, the smell is okay in my book and I intend to use this throughout the spring and summer months. Been chosen! It’s more than a scent- it’s a feeling.

Yeah- my wife says she demands I take a shower if I’m expecting her to sprinkle on any sugar and spice. Daughter says I smell like an old barbershop. I like my daughter’s nose better but it’s not the one that counts

Superb soap qualities! Very nice scent, cooling sensation, and a creamy slick lather...love this!
A satisfying shave with the razor after stropping on pasted balsa and buffalo leather. 3 smooth comfortable passes for a dfs finish. The matching aftershave was chillingly cold...perfect for today's hot & humid weather!

Dana Canoe aftershave (vintage)

After a nearly sleepless night, I needed the comfort of this excellent 'barbershop' shave. I wasn't worried or ruminating; but my mind was overactive, and I just could not sleep. Along with the soothing powdery shave, listening to Bach's Violin Sonata No. 2 in A minor, arranged and played by guitarist Paul Galbraith, was also helpful.
