Hunter: how do you like the EDT? They’ve got me at vetiver, pineapple, rosemary.  I like citrusy/herbal but subtle floral.

If I haven’t said it in the last 6 months...”I really need that Oscar 11.”  One of the most beautiful brushes in the SOTD, it looks like melting ice!

Thank you for your kind words and it is nice to see you posting, again. 

No travel (unless environmental/natural disaster) until February! 
I’m still a little overwhelmed trying to absorb the last 2 months of missed shaving.  Because of the plague and zero tv whilst down in Mexico I was able to complete quite a few new drawings, mostly samurai and demons, putting some colour to them.  I have a few for Halloween week that will be absolutely out there, but in good poor taste.

Again, thank you for the greetings! Cheers

SOTD: Great shave today - Paladin Pirate + H&S Titanium + Ethos + Nordost = a very easy smooth shave

Is there such thing as a bad Vesuvius? 
Stunning Ian, I need a Pirate in Lapis

I LOVE this Scent. I live in AZ and it’s nasty hot right now. This scent is so refreshing in the heat. I’ll wear it to work regularly and often reapply in the afternoon after a workout. This one is very light on the florals, I mainly get the Pineapple, Szechuan pepper, and Vetiver. It’s a really nice combo, most people that comment say it smells ‘clean’. It’s not powdery or soapy though. I just had to order a second bottle because I’ve blown through my first. Highly recommended.

There is indeed no such thing as a bad Vesuvius - it really is a stunning resin in person - hard to capture in a picture.
A Pirate in Lapis would be beautiful! Good luck with your search

A gore-free BBS. Can't ask for more than that.
The newish brush has pretty much lost its own scent by now, and either the tips are softening or I'm just getting used to it.
