With that razor I would either be mentally singing Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" or Heart's "Alone" when shaving

Thanks guys. Tim, I think the scales are original.
I figured I'd try something else new, fyi: November's Gentlemen's Restraint. I think this will be new and interesting to me. I'm kind of skirting TabacTober, relying on the deo, AS or EdC to remain compliant on days that I don't use Tabac soap.
The thought of acting like a gentleman for a whole month just seems to tough to bear, but I'm gonna go for it!

If yesterday's shave smelled like I was rolling around in earthy stuff, today's was the stuff that grows in the dirt. Violetas and other flowers, galore. I used the new Japanese "Alone" 4800 with Jabonman's Violetas soap (this was so loose, it may be a cream). Awesome soap (?), incredible floral scent, even better slick, cushiony performance. AS was Tabac, which always smells like a mystery bouquet to me, never Tabaco (green or any other color). Cologne is Grey Flannel, which starts with an incredible violet and geranium blast. This was a nice shave.
Huh... for some reason that's not a scent combo I would have imagined from something called Grey Flannel... *shrug*

Morphs into something completely different on drydown. Out comes oakmoss, cedar, some powder, maybe a hint of patchouli, with flowers still reminding you that they blasted an hour or so ago. At least to me and my busted up nose.
I don't hear a lot about jabonman soaps. But what I do hear is exclusively favorable. Where does one find it?
OK, so the dry down is more of what I'd have imagined over all for the scent. 
Very cool stuff then.

Alfredo helped me find the soap Jessie. I'm sure he'll chime in eventually.

This razor was formerly know, by me and perhaps one other, as "The Bonefish Razor":
Hence forward, it shall be known, by me and likely no other, as "The Homepage Razor:"

Um, I guess. Is this something from popular Canadian TV culture? I'm not really up on the stuff over here, fyi.
oh my. The only Canadian clowns are all in politics up here. That's Homey the Clown from In Living Color, back in the early '90s.

Um, sorry guys, haven't owned a TV in a long long time . . . .
That razor is the epitome of simple elegance to me. I'm glad to see that its obviously one of Brian's favorites.
