My Bathroom Smells

No, not what you're thinking!

Since succumbing to the virulent strains of SSAD and SCAD that seem to afflict new DE shavers, my bathroom has begun to smell, well, nice.

Oh sure, it always was clean, but it just smelled like a bathroom – hints of soap, shampoo, shaving gel, bleach, etc.

But now, there's a veritable bouquet emanating from that room. The scents of C&F Limes and C&E Sienna and Trumper's almond or violet (with a little Tabac thrown in for good measure) along with some Trumper's Limes A/S or Lucky Tiger, plus the occasional hint of Cefiro or JF or T&H Limes colognes have all blended together to create what just reminds me of a gentleman's bathroom.

So, gents, in addition to treating yourself to a fine shave each day, you'll help create a nice "Bathroom Bouquet" that's both pleasant, manly, and inoffensive.

Ah, the wonders of shaving!

Most of my bathroom scents have been out-muscled
by the Tabac soap! I do have a closet that stores a
bunch of soap refills (mostly D.R. Harris) that smells
positively wonderful, though.

Yeah, I keep most of my supplies in the linen closet, and it smells great whenever I open the door!

Yea, so does mine. Isn't that neat. A warm, comfortable place where one is enveloped by familiar scents and occasionally a whiff of something new. Exciting.

Then someone eats a few burritos for lunch and the magic is shattered.

Greg, my house has more than one bathroom.

Then you should have said "Warm, comfortable places".

And I should have realized that all an Ape needs is hot food, cold beer and a warm place to . . . ah . . . go to the bathroom.

My bathroom currently smells like Claus Porto Vetyver bath soap with a sprinkling of Mitchell's Wool Fat and a dash of my girlfriends bath soap, whatever it is. . . I think it's Dove. It's an interesting mix.

As we have all been down with Norwalk virus this week in our home, the normal bathroom scents of wet-shaving and my wife's fabulous lavender moisturizer has been replaced with a strong scent of......

Dettol.

The best germ-killing product I know of - and the scent is bearable as well - at least a huge improvement on the alternative - but I'll spare you all the graphic details for now.....

I seem to recall having seen somewhere that there is an Indian shaving cream with the Dettol name. I wonder if it smells like the disinfectant

One of my professors once said that all of capitalism and Western history was just a struggle for a nicer place to go to the bathroom. Looking at a few of the many 'McMansions' that infest our suburbs I'm beginning to think he was on to something.

I left out loose fitting shoes because Apes don't wear shoes.

Well I guess that passes for knowledge is some places.
