Ok so I had a hard day at work, a few glasses of Jameson on the rocks and decided to shave this evening. Not only did i decide that a shave was a good idea, but i decided that using my grandfather's 50s? eta Ever-Ready shave brush was a good idea. My grandfather has been gone now for about 5 years but he is the man who taught me how to be a man, and if I say so myself, he has nothing to be ashamed of.
I do my usual routine, get a nice lather on the brush and as I apply my soap, I smell the brush and it smells of his garage and the tool oil and fresh cut lumber and stain.... all wonderful things to me.
So I enjoy the feeling of being 13 again and manage not to cut myself. thanks Grampa!
My question to you all is do you own items that although ordinary, possess a ..... character, that cannot be explained?
my grandfather never shaved in his workshop i'm sure, but it didnt smell of soap or creme, it smelt of sweat, machines , wood and oil.... if someone could make that in an aftershave I am in 100%
