At last! Welcome to the Arlington League...
No, seriously, nice setup; isn't that scent to die for? Funny you just brought these out now; I decided to take my beloved puck of Arlington last week as Fall is seriously coming down here...
Enjoy anyway!

Was really impressed with the Musgo shaving cream sample I got, only cream so far to really moisturize my face and leave my skin feeling good without really needing an ASB. Have to get myself a tube now, I like lanolin

Hi Eelco!

I just edited my original post above as I had forgotten to type the end of the sentence.
I meant: I took Arlington out of my Fall/Winter rotation...

Still, Arlington is a very great scent and I'm glad you came to it at last.

Cheers,

Thanks Eelco

It was shot with a 150mm Macro at around F3.5 I think, so you basically had it right on the money! Obviously with a 150mm I had to sit pretty far back considering, but it turned out pretty good...
