*I remember this soap being better. Not impressed with it over a few shaves this week. My rotation is getting smaller here.

The 2 Man EDT was a favorite for a long time. I haven't tried it in almost a decade, so I grabbed a sample. Meh. I'm moving toward a much smaller rotation on the fragrance front, as well. I don't want to waste time with things that aren't true favorites anymore.


Tim, I seem to be going through a similar experience to some extent.

Yeah, it's funny, after so many binge and purge cycles, to wind up at this point. I don't even want really good soaps, for instance. Just the absolute top tier. I'm finally ready to knock down my fragrance "wardrobe" - most of which is rarely worn - to a handful of things again. One razor has been my MO for a few years now, and I think I may even be ready to go to a single brush after rotating three for the last couple of months. I enjoy the shave, but I don't much variety anymore. Repetition seems to be a greater pleasure than novelty at this stage for me.
Regards,
Tim
