Came across this at the local toko, so had to pick it up:

Florida Water is an American version of Eau de Cologne, or Cologne Water. It has the same citrus basis as Cologne Water, but shifts the emphasis to sweet orange (rather than the lemon and neroli of the original Cologne Water), and adds spicy notes including lavender and clove[1]. The name refers to the fabled Fountain of Youth, which was said to be located in Florida, as well as the "flowery" nature of the scent.

See here at the Wikipedia: read more

I like its retro look and feel!

I'm sooo happy, as I got my custom made scuttle.

This was the first time making a scuttle for the potter, so he was quite excited to give it a try.
I think the outcome is great, and can't wait to try it out - about five minutes from now

And the pics:

W&B 5/8 Hollow Ground. Got it from my barber. My last visit, he asked if I could help him identify some straights that he had inherited from the shops previous owner. So, I took some pictures, and told him I'd do my best. There were a few W&B's, an ERN ATOR, and a few random razors. I went for my cut today, told him, and pointed out the current going prices. He thanked me, and on my way out, he tossed the razor to me, in its original case.

This was after a bit of brasso. No rust, not real pitting, and the scales and pins are in excellent condition. Going to have it sent out to be honed, since I like the "aged" look that the blade has.
