Both would be interesting and rewarding, both have very good people working in their respective “clusters” and they both are more or less intertwined in various capacities and projects. One would likely find me in operating a desk more than the other; a situation I am not totally sure I am ready for, the other would be more technical with clear opportunities for advancement in the next 3-5 years (not that the other doesn't)....

Sounds like a hard decision. I'd certainly do some 'haggling' for the best salary, but money isn't everything. You say one is more desk bound than the other. Are you an active person? Are you young or old? Do you have back problems? Are you fit or overweight? I work from my desk a lot at the moment and wish I was a little more active. At almost 50, with a dodgy back, and having gained unwanted weight over Winter, I could do less sitting. I'd probably sacrifice some dollars to be outside more or at least a little more mobile...

Don't ya love it when it comes together like that?

I think is ok Brut and Pashana. In my case, the two scent dind't mix. Brut remained much longer.
You can prove and give me your opinion.

Yes very traditional, I've not used Brut in years but will try it when I get some!

Good luck with the decision, I'm sure you'll make the right one.

Sweet W&B Rene, beautiful bowl too. I like the sound of a Sandalwood Uber.

Sounds like a perfect excuse to drag the wife to Max's house in Vegas! I like they way you disguise your TRUE purpose!

Tremendous shaves shown by all this week! You gentlemen all impress the heck out of me. This Fili is almost as impressive! I got it over a year ago, and had Glen (GSSixGun) hone it from NOS. The edge he put on it is still incredible! The XXX is equally quality stuff, and I'm left BBS all over!
