Thanks for kicking things off this week, Ron.

Last week we had 61 postings and 736 views to the SOTD post. Keep up the good work!

As for today:

I used my new mug warmer to great effect today. However, I just saw Joel's posting about frazzling a brush, so I will have to be extra-careful tomorrow.

The Tabac is new to me. Still on the fence on this one - I will have to wear it a bit to make a decision whether I like it or not. Certainly no love at first sniff for me.

[guenron]

Hi Scotto!
Can't take credit for that, good ol' Larry kicked it off at 1AM! What a man up there in the Great Northland, must be in the land of the midnight sun... :wink:
I love the Tabac Cologne and bought a HUGE cologne splash (probably enough for the next 10 years).. It has nice notes of vanilla and leather and tabacco.. I hope you find it dear to your nose.

I stand corrected! Kudos to our Northern friend for getting up so early to post! The Tabac is growing on me throughout the morning. Also looking for the B&B cologne sample in the mail today!

No shave again..............Going to do something different with the goatee so I need a couple days growth.

[Tequilero79]

OK. let me join in on the fun here.

Today’s shave:

Glycerin soap/Asquith & Somerset (sp?) shave cream combo

Witch Hazel/Aloe toner (homemade)
Neutrogena Triple Protect face lotion
Pinaud Clubman after shave splash as fragrance for today



Joel,

Your picture with all the bourbon in the background gave me an excellent idea: a bourbon scented shave soap. I don't mean a soap that smells like booze. I mean a soap that captures all those wonderful notes that you pick up as you sip your favorite bourbon (i.e. cherry, almond, chocolate, apricot, cedar, etc.) I know that one of my favorite things to do when I finish drinking bourbon from a sniffer is to pick out all the different scents left behind. Now that's the way to start the day.



Respectfully,


Schubert

The Tabac won me over by day's end - I like the way the vanilla and tobacco notes dry down. Very masculine.

Hi Ron!
It made for an excellent day. The pure scent of sandalwood was absolutely refreshing!

The more and more I am exposed to Sandalwood, the more I LIKE it.

So does my wife!!

I whole heartedly agree. I did not fully appreciate sandalwood until I purchased QEDs soap and now C&E fragrances. Sandalwood labeled items that I had previously tried seemed to have very little sandalwood and much more filler - for lack of a better description. Kudos to Charles for making this exceptional fragrance available in its purest form – it clearly stands above the rest!

Sample day today:

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=55

That's Trumpers violet and a sample of Pecksniff's fresh citrus cologne.

I have to say, I have sampled pretty much every type of Trumpers shaving cream, and I just don't like them. For my face, I get terrible shaves. Oh, well. Taylor's on the other hand, fantastic. Go figure.
