We're allowed to roll over a week from year to year at our company, but I haven't been able to get more than a week off at one time since the honeymoon. The extended summer vacations so common in Europe are something we really need corporate America to take more kindly to! Enjoy the well deserved R&R!

Oh the six week break would be lovely. I spent 3 months of every year with my Grand Parents In Portugal for the first 16 years of my life. Travelled around Europe with my folks, it was exceptional. We normally do 2 weeks in April and 2 more Oct/Nov with the rest for Christmas and long weekends. I can roll 6 weeks over to next year. Time to put my feet up.

Tried a new product today that I have been looking at for awhile now. I truly enjoy the convenience of a shave stick when it comes travelling or I just want something quick and easy.

Cremo shave sticks are the size of an average deodorant stick and are super soft and easy to apply. Though they come in other scents, I grabbed the “refreshing mint” version. So today’s shave was with it in hand. Scent-wise it is a lovely mint and the soap is mentholated which was surprising. Lathered up quite nicely and was slick. I will apply much less next time though because a little goes a long way. Lovely shave and topped off with some Elvado Wild Mint Lime balm.

Enjoyable it was and I might grab another so my travel kit is stocked with one at all times.

Of the 17 soaps & creams I have in regular use inventory, my Cremo shave stick is the only thing I haven't tried out yet. It's been over a year since I picked it up on a whim. I need to try it out!

Yup I was pretty impressed. Cheap too! The little menthol kick was a surprise also. All and all a great shave stick! Honestly Ryan, grab it for your next shave!
 
Great brush, great razor and blade combo. Great frag! Weekend in Malibu is just a great scent for a soap and AS! Happy Saturday Cadre!

Lovely three pass shave and BBS for the win. Hands down the AS-D2 is king of the den. Not the prettiest but functionally the best shaver I have. Now that is a feat unto itself. Happy Tuesday Cadre!
