Monday
Razor | Wade and Butcher Special | Cream | Musgo Real Classic | After Shave | Musgo real No. 3 Spiced Citrus | EDT | Joop! Jump
Very nice shave this morning. I have always loved the scent of Musgo Real cream, and was disappointed when I (probably mistakenly) thought the classic scent was the ‘old’ formula that contained the ‘nasties’. Of course they created new scents that were also more natural (no SLS etc) and I’d bought the Orange Amber and liked it, but not as much as the old scent. So when I bought the old scent the other day (without even knowing it was a more natural formula; I decided to live dangerously) I was very happy to see it is essentially the same formula as the ‘new’ scents but with that same excellent classic scent!
The Musgo Real No.3 Spiced Citrus after shave is very nice; esp on the skin, but the scent doesn’t last; I like an AS that overpowers and lasts (as I enjoy overdoing everything). However, whacking the Joop! Jump over top of the Musgo Real in a frivolous ‘squirt here, squirt there, squirt there again, squirt down there in case I get lucky’ fashion worked wonders, so much that I got a compliment.
I also got a compliment on my new jacket and new shirt (‘spiffy’ was the word) which was nice…
Hope you’re all also getting compliments, we know Mikael is, but he's Swedish, so he has an unfair advantage…
