No shave, I had such a good shave yesterday I need to have something to cut tomorrow! (I know you are disappointed in me Ron)

Floris # 127 Cologne

Scotto,
I got a bottle of Spicy Oriental in trade, and liked it so much when I saw the Fougere come up for trade, I snipped it up right quick!! Neat scents for sure, I'd give them a hearty recommendation..... dunno the best place to buy them though. I remember at one point Robert at TGS had them 1/2 off as he was discontinuing them.

 

[Austin]

Joel, you should try Fresh Citrus next. Great scent.

ahh, Violetta! One of my favorite scents. I wonder if we could get Charles to run us a limited batch, with the understanding, of course, that it has FO instaed of EO. I use my Violetta sparingly, however if I knew that I could replace it I would use it quite often.

Thanks for the info. I had contacted them directly for samples, and they were very responsive - sent all their male fragrances. I really like the scents. I'll have to keep an eye out for a good deal.

I am about to head upstairs to shave, having just come back from my workout (shades of shaveblog.com....). The plan:

C&E Sandalwood
SMF brush
Em's Chamomile hydrosol
4711 EdT

My last shave with the C&E was terrible; if it doesn't shape up this time it is hitting the trade forum.

Tomorrow its back to pix....

Art,
I am not quite crushed about the shave, it's that your enjoying the guilt so much!
There are days I feel I could almost skip, but not quite... And then there is the joy of lathering I would miss. Only so many days that we are allotted on this earth, it's a shame to put aside the pleasures of a shave and lose a day.
