Thread: Sunday March 7 ~ Saturday March 13

Getting myself ready for the warmer months.

I absolutely love my darker, deeper, autumn/winter scents. But it’s time to start changing to lighter, crisper scents.

I’m pulling-out one of my favorites - A&E’s “Peach Cognac”.

Not the wifey favorite (6 out of 10), but definitely one of my favorites.

Great lather. Super slick. Delicious (but elegant) scent.

Great face and head shave this morning, after my run and workout.

This shave is in my top 3.

a 60 cent blade
a $3 splash
and whatever razor that has efficiencies that match your mug
Absolutely stupendous shave with a post shave that lasts into tomorrow.

Superb face and head shave this Wednesday morning.

It was my first shave with my newly acquired 7/8” Ralf Aust.

What a cracee sharp razor!

Effortlessly floated through 3 days of beard growth.

I’m using a recently purchased sample of B&M’s, “The Full Measure of a Man”.

Great slickness, and I’m totally digging the scent. (Genteel and smooth, the fragrance combines notes of cured tobacco, sandalwood, Mousse de Saxe (whose inky tang suffuses the entire scent like a whispered promise), citrus, vanilla, resins, myrrh, and geranium).

It is an elegant and darker scent. (Wish I had the balm or splash). Wifey gave it an 8 out of 10.

I’m on a search for a nice tobacco-based scent, so I’m looking at this one, or maybe Declaration Grooming’s, “Massacre of the Innocents”. (Which a forum shaver is sending me a sample of).

Anyhoo...awesome shave.

The Herr Aust straight razor is such a smooth shaver!
