It's been awhile since I used the MWF. Awesome stuff. However, the dear wife vetoed the GFT. Into the bin it went.

MB Green Irish Tweed Type EdT

The PdP + Elements of Bamboo scent was amazing, a great compliment to each other in all respects. MB's GIT was a nice match too. While it's not identical to the original creed frag, it's damn close. I prefer MB's version because it lasts longer on me (12 hrs )

Cheers gents.

Well, I had an underwhelming shave with the IP on the first day. However, today was completely awesome. Almost completely BBS shave (except for that annoying under-jawline, grrr) with no irritation or burn. But, I missed shaving yesterday, and I took more time and paid more attention to my technique today. So was it the Tabac, the day off, my technique getting better, or did the IP calm down the second day and it's just that awesome?

All I know is there will be some faceturbation today

This is the shave set up for me this week:

Olive oil soap, brand unknown, as a preshave
Palmolive Green
My new 1965 (I think) Gillette adjustable slim handle
Merkur blade
Dickinson's witch hazel
Euphoria ASB
SCS Oakmoss Lavendula.

I had the razor set at three, same as my Fat Boy, but it is more aggressive than the Fat Boy at this setting. Got a few very minor nicks, but very close and smooth. Tomorrow I am setting it to two. Looked great and smelled great to go pick up an order.

Come home John!
