German Pitralon aftershave (generous application)

I already have a Jagger silvertip synthetic and it performs nicely. No issues, dries quickly, washes clean. I ordered the T3 because I'm an exclusive face latherer and the chubby style seemed like a good choice. I'm more of a painter than a smasher so I expect the T3 will give me a good combination....

I have a T3 on the way although it seems to be taking the scenic route through Canada, Togo, and parts of South America before getting here.

Took a few seconds to get the reference.

Probably some way he could compensate for that.

Harsh.

I'm not much of an aftershave guy although I've picked up three bottles this year (Spanish, German, Swiss). Before that burst of spending, I'd only pick up a bottle of Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue just to have something on hand and because I'm cheap. Walking out in the cold air with AV was a nice com...

Big funny.

Since you asked, the idea was to pair different soaps/creams with types of women. Such as highly mentholated soaps with women who rise early, pour coffee into you, and drag you out for a run. I didn't take it much further. Just an idea.
