Tuesday, September 6:

Plisson 14 Badger in Clear Plexi
Martin de Candre Vetiver soap
Feather DE with Super Platinum blade
Thayer's Witch Hazel
Floris Vetiver EdT

I need to ration that Floris, since my wife uses it quite frequently. The MdC Vetiver soap produces a slick lather, and it has a nice but subtle vetiver fragrance.

Lynn, great to see you! Quite a nice setup there. I have the Martin de Candre Fougere and have wondered about the Vetiver. Perhaps soon. Floris Vetiver is one that got away for me, an early acquisition that I sold off too soon. Wonderful fragrance.

[woodsrider]

Thanks so much, Tim! Colorado is well-represented in this thread (I'm in COS).

The MdC Fougere is one of my favorites, and the Vetiver is right up there close to it. It's not quite as earthy as the Floris Vetiver EdT, but it's very complementary.

Puma Inox full hollow 6/8.
Takes longer to do the job with the straight razors.
Every few weeks I look forward to keeping the practice alive.

Saturday:

Plisson 16 High Mountain White
Trumper Sandalwood Cream (dried out; use like a soap)

Creed Viking

The Creed Viking is a decent cool weather fragrance, but I don't think I like it enough to do a re-load.

Thanks so much, Tim! Colorado is well-represented in this thread (I'm in COS).

Well, I admit I'm intrigued enough to probably place an order next time I have the spare cash around. It just seems like a can't miss option.

Colorado is lovely. We moved here about four years ago, and I've never regretted it.
