Andi, c'est magnifique! What an impressive SOTD, but I think they forgot to explain to you that the coffee tastes much better if you grind the beans and then steep the grinds in very hot water...

Thank you, my friend

Thank you, Bill
Thanks for the explanation.
Now I know why the coffee has tasted so bad

Jabonman Mandarin/Vetiver | Thäter Bulb | Wacker Mod.2 | Lucido | Vetiver de Carven

This was one of those zen shaves. I really hit the sweetspot today with the Jabonman and oodles of lather piled up on my face. The beauty of that is that the scent of this soap is really intoxicating to me. I found myself just relaxing as I shaved, which is a great thing to a point. The tension flowed out of my hands and arms allowing me to use a very light touch, and I ended up being catfish belly smooth in record time! The Lucido wasn't really needed, because the Jabonman leaves the face so moisturized, but I used it anyway. And the Carven vetiver was simply the icing on the cake today. The bright citrusy opening quickly gives way to an earthy vetiver root. I am in heaven!


Now if only I could figure out how to fix SWMBO's virus infested computer...

Another great pic, Bill!

Good Afternoon!

Simpsons PL8 3Band Super Badger \\ EJ BChrome w/ Red IP \\ 3P Pre Per E Post Barba \\ MNS Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper \\ Al Raz's ASB Custom "El Tangerino"

Sorry for the late post but today's shave this afternoon was quite soothing. The scent of oranges really topped it off and one of my favorites. Just feels a bit weird not posting this in the morning and being at the office. But that doesn't mean I won't stop b/c it'll its part of my everyday routine. Well Friends, have a great day!

​

Your usual excellence, Balaji! How's the Polo coming along?

I can smell that soap from here, Bill! And intoxicating is spot on. Is that a vintage bottle of Carven? Looks nothing like the one I recently bought. And have you tried running Malwarebytes and/or SuperAntiSpyware? I find the two of those combined get just about everything. And if that doesn't work, just buy her a new one!!!
