I know right?! EVERY TIME!!!I actually took a sniff a few days ago when I was hunting the flying demon. The first few whiffs almost made me cry, but it's not as bad as when I first bought it. Still pretty damn horrific, though.

EVERY SINGLE TIME. Honestly I might just throw it away. I refuse to let anybody else smell that abomination for the sake of humanity.
Open the tub...pure poo! What on earth were they thinking?! Pungent!
They were going for the usual stuff. Polarizing.
I'd say they nailed it.
I'd be more than happy to send you the set of you're that curious, but you will not be allowed to send it back. 1, 2, 3, no backies!

And “like” is a very strong word there. Night Music was tolerable, but I didn’t like it. I still got rid of it.

Hey this is my journal! ...he CAN have mine!
Sunday that day we always look forward to as it brings with it family visits and relaxation. So today’s shave was a slow and easy one after a long day of chilling, gardening and working on the tan after visiting with my Dad.
Reached for the Rockwell 6C again loaded with a GSB and plate 4. Nice and smooth. Soap of the day Nivea Protect and Care the original babe worship scent for me anyway. Just a dab in the bowl does wonders for a bountiful lather. Quite amazing for some inexpensive shave cream.
Lovely two pass DFS was all that was needed today. Followed up with the matching splash/lotion and a quick spritz of BB&W Ocean to make it a seaside barbershop! Enjoy your Sunday Cadre and stay safe.

Nice shave, hermano! Don't fall into the water, also don't drink it. Uhhhh. Fresh water, fresh water is for hydration!
Happy Canada Day to all those who are, going to be or wish they were Canadian! It is a beautifully sunny and hot Wednesday and as we chill the beers and heat up the BBQ we think back on all the Canada Day celebrations of years past. No fireworks or huge BBQs going on but it’s still a glorious day.!
Soap of choice on this smoking day? Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic! Ohhhhhh the chill! So good! Matching AS is also glacial and as a special treat Duke Cannon Supply Co. Ice Cold balm! Yeah like dipping your melon in an ice fishin hole!
Razor of choice my Timeless SS OC .95 loaded up with a Voskhod. Nice and smooth and never needed beyond two passes! So Canada Day yields a wonderful two pass near BBS shave. Slap on some Eternity Aqua and the BBQ awaits.
For all the Canadians around the world thank you for all your never ending resilience in the face of pandemic adversity. For all those who serve be safe today wherever you are and thank you for your service. May your beers be cold, your BBQs smoking and those in your “bubble” close! Happy Canada Day!

Sounds like a good day coming, Ed. 
My soap was modern Williams (which is BY FAR the best soap I have used so far this month), but I did have a wonderful fresh lettuce salad for lunch #1 , courtesy of our garden.

It's all good, BenBillBud. I am used to not being noticed when in the presence of the glory that is Somnos.
In honor of Canada Day, I'll think back to the cases of Molson's we smuggled back in the USA when 18.. Also brought in lots of fireworks, the best of which was Canadian Salute, a fan shaped thing that launched bottle rockets in multiple directions. Enjoy your day, gents!
