thanks gents:

been a lurker for a while...also over at SMF and finally decided to register here.

I have learned alot and I am getting great shaves as a result.

I ordered B&B shave stick and cologne from Charles this week and will post my thoughts when I get it.

Looks like Plano will be well represented. Hope Rita leaves us alone but I think we are going to get a little of her.

Welcome aboard Shermdog! I look forward to your take on the B&B package. If you get a chance, wander over to the hall of fame and tell us a bit about yourself. Stay dry.

Scotto,
I was so into the fragrances I did a fifth pass just to get some more of the lather... Just like walking in a northern wood pine forest on a cold winter morning. I could almost hear the crunch of the snow underfoot. Certainly could smell those pine needles and cedar trees. Ahem, I am beginning to feel like one of those newage :a39: aroma types.

Lack of variety in the first degree! This is a crime punishable by two weeks using a can of Foamy... Or forced reading of he who should be flushed's blog for more than two minutes.. Now there're suitable punishments bordering on death by boredom. :laugh:

But I got such a great shave, doesn't that count for anything?

My excuse: I had the same stuff in my gym bag from the day before and didn't want to wake the in-laws at 4:30 am , to get into my shave cabinet, I would have had to move a lot of stuff around and most likely had to wake everyone in the house.

Of my punishment: I would take the can any day rather than read senior blog.
