I am REALLY enjoying my Yaqi Sagrada, Ed. Thanks for the recommendation.
It is a light citrus scent that has just the right amount of staying power. Literally any citrus scent you have it is an awesome topper!
Yeah it’s pimped out for sure...low, 63 Impala SS convertible is more my speed...but yeah Purple Haze would do!
Sam I have a few synths and it is one of three tuxedo knots; the others being 26mm and 30mm and at “plump” 24mm with that handle height and loft I love it. Glad you are enjoying it buddy!
Another road shave and today was the 34Gs not so fancy Brother the 34C. Just as good just not so GOOOOOOLD!
Stirling Executive Man of course to go with the fine suit. Lovely! Got through a wonderful three pass BBS shave which was topped off with English Laundry London.
Man what a great combination! Enjoy the week and to all those who were working, watching and crying on Sept 11, 2001, God bless, safe travels...

Great Soap, AS, and EdT Combo! Don't be surprised if the ladies come knocking! 
London is the much, much cheaper brother of Aventus...seriously same wheelhouse. It is a perfect match to Stirling EM and it’s an EdP so just a little gets it done!Great Soap, AS, and EdT Combo! Don't be surprised if the ladies come knocking!
Does it last a decent amount of time?
Yes it does. I actually have four of their scents and all are EdP.... all good.
Hey @NurseDave i got all mine at Winners here which is the same-same as TJ Maxx etc. $20.00 each...you can get them all cheap if you look...oh and they are full size bottles the little traveller above came in a set for $20.
Sweet deal!
Oh yes I may be all “super model” and all so claims @woodpusher but I am frugal!
A little late but oh well....Sept 13th, 2019 SOTD
Love the Merkur 34C/G and it will travel well to Jamaica God willing or the Rockwell R1.
Stirling Tuscany is a wonderful soap and scent. Just about perfect really with not too much of anything in the scent profile.
Omega boar I haven’t used in so long. Yes, they are good but I believe I am more in the Badger or Synth wheelhouse.

All I know is......
You still look mahvelous

Agreed!Hopefully the extra cash is money in the pocket!
Forget the wine...today requires something a little more manly!
I love smoky scents and Stirling Gatlinburg is a fantastic, smoky scent. I know it isn’t exactly fall yet but I love this scent a lot! It is a polarizing scent for sure and I haven’t met many on the fence on this one. You either really love it or you don’t.
Today’s razor a wonderful Gillette New SC in Rhodium which really makes this one a looker too! OCs are great and I really enjoy using them when they come up in rotation. This one is a very smooth shaver.
Thoroughly enjoyable, two pass DFS and off to work on a Monday morning. Paired the wonderful smoky Gatlinburg with Dark Rebel...a match made I say. Just as smoky with a touch of leather! Enjoy the week and the shaves!
