Nice travel rig. Looks like you are really roughing it on the road - not!

Yeah Dave, it was a road trip this time, so I figured I might as well tote along the good stuff!

Futur/IP(3)
Emperor 3
J. Peterman 1903 s/c*
WWR
CWS
Thayers Lavender w/h
J. Peterman 1903 a/s/b*
J. Peterman 1903 edt*



*J. Peterman 1903 samples compliments of Churchill.

The consistency of the s/c is very reminiscent of Castle Forbes. From J. Peterman about the shave cream.

"Rich, thick lather (extremely concentrated—try to control yourself.) Outstanding when used with brush."



I like the scent very much as well. From J. Peterman about the cologne:

An “old woody fougère.” Clean citrus notes, bergamot, "green notes." The middle notes: clary sage…cardamom. The dry-down: leather notes, smoky labdanum…elemi, tabac, frankincense.

Thank you, Bob. I'm sold.
