Thread: Musgo Real Aftershave Balm

You don't hear much about this stuff but if you like a balm after you shave this is the best I tried. I have Trumpers Coral Skin Food, Poraso Aftershave Balm. Crabtree and Evelyn Seinna Aftershave Balm, Trumpers Lime Skin Food, Nivea Aftershave Balm. All are good, but none even come close to this.

Um - my experience with CSF is much better. MR has alcohol, btw - in case someone is bent on avoiding it

Decent scent for sure

Cheers

Advising against alcohol? Ivo, you disappoint me

Come on, Ilija - you know perfectly well that alcohol is wasted on one's face! Which is what I said "someone" might want to avoid.

But since you put me on the spot: last Saturday's account:

• I started with Bulgarian beers (hard to find here)
• then moved on to Absolut straight up no flavour,
• had some single malt (can't remember name)
• then went for a bit of flourish with a beer glass full 50/50 with: drumroll ... Mastika + Menta (Ouzo and the menthol I don't even know if it's sold in US) this can be brutal to a newbie. We call it "Cloud" - because of the poetic mood it can bring and the visual appearance; when you add vodka to a Cloud it's called "April Shower"
• Then some moonshine,
• followed by absinth with sugar...
• maybe some wine from my wife's glass to pass the time between drinks

So - funniest part comes here - we start to leave and my wife (who only had a glass of wine) backs into a friend's 3M

Yeah, she just nudged him but you should have seen the people and faces... no harm done whatsoever

Cheers
Ivo

man I am getting stupid - I forgot it was not Absolut - it was Grey Goose and I had brought it myself...

Ivo, that's a respectable performance. I'd definitely like to party with your crowd. We still have some Mastika left over when a cousin from Macedonia came to a conference here in Toronto. I only drink it in the summer.
