Just lovely. I may need to pick up the rest of the Stirling Gentleman set at some point. It's a pleasantly subdued tobacco scent.

Yeah it's a really nice scent, I just can't see myself reaching for it regularly.
I'm trying to be more discerning about what I pick up, with varying degrees of success.
Man, I just can't keep up anymore...

Probably another two shaves in this smush. 322 is a nice scent, but I'm not sure I'd use a full tub.
Almost Friday!
Ah, I have less experience with those. The few times I've used regional train in Germany it's been great.
The train system in Berlin is so damn good (despite what the Germans say about it).
The Illuminati are always interfering with my shaves, I feel you.

Florentine Fern is great, I love an anisic scent.
Have a great day!
