U.S. Palmolive Lather (red tube)
D.R. Harris Arlington Aftershave Milk

While rooting out a pot of Green Pond (Harris) Sandalwood shave cream, I knocked a small sample vial of Penhaligon's LP No. 9 off the shelf. It shattered on the tile floor, just my luck. Mind you, I didn't really care for this scent, and should have just pitched it. The smell was everywhere, and quite overpowering. SWMBO suggested white vinegar for the cleanup, which I used. The smell was still quite intense after my shower, so I ditched the idea of the sandalwood and decided to go for something unscented (or with a muted, weird scent - Palmolive).

Anyone have any suggestions on removing cologne smells?

Well, I was wrong. It wasn't the Penhaligon's LP No. 9. It was Geo. F. Trumper's Astor cologne. Well, that's ruined that scent for me.

I just observed that the garbage can containing the cleaning up rags now has a powdery note to it. So, I suppose I wouldn't have like the dry down on the Astor, anyway. Sour grapes? Perhaps.

D.R. Harris Arlington soap
Vulfix 404 brush
Taylor’s Bay Rum aftershave
Clinique M lotion

Lubricated by D.R. Harris’ creamy lather, the fine Turkish blade glides effortlessly over my face gently mowing down whiskers. Three passes and it’s complete; another smooth, irritation free shave.

Blade: Israeli (day 5 - time to retire this one)
Brush: Vulfix 2197

I was in a major rush to get out the door this morning, so my shave was predictably sub-par. Just one tiny weeper, but otherwise no worse than anything I got with my Mach 3.
