Just seemed like a good day for a sample and kit change up. On deck today was a sample from Ken and the soap is Grecian Horse. I’ve tried this sample before and I dig the scent. I don’t know what it is, but it smells familiar. This one will probably end up as a purchase. A very nice shave was also had. Life is good!

A very nice shave today. I grabbed the Black Diamond, which was gifted to me by our friend in Kentucky. I wasn’t sure what scent I wanted today, so I went old school and it didn’t disappoint. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! The Avon Everest finished up nicely, I dig that scent. Life is good!

Awesome post Tim! Now I am thinking I may need to grab a similar set up for tomorrow. Hope today was a good one!

A very nice shave again today. I went with a sample of DR Harris Windsor. I dig the scent and wouldn’t mind adding it to the rotation. But the cost of the matching aftershave is a bit much. Life is good!

I agree. The soaps (DR Harris) are reasonably priced. The aftershaves are a bit pricey.
