Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Tonight's shave brings about the end of my made in America straight razors. What country to go to next? England, Italy, Germany, Austria, Russia, Japan, Spain, China or North Korea?
Decisions... decisions. Tune in tomorrow and see what razor makes the Christmas eve shave grade. 
This Clauss Royal Bengal Brand  was almost like a early Christmas present. It is in NOS condition. Surprisingly it would not be my choice for a everyday/high use razor. The tang ergonomics/design are not comfortable to strop.  1508.5 charges ahead with the Grecian Horse soap and Proraso Red AS. Very early in 2021 they will be replaced. Like an old politician from Delaware. 
Hope you are all ready for the holidays in whatever way you need/want to be.

When I see this reasonably nice description of Bay Rum

"West Indies bay leaf, spices, and Jamaican Rum are blended to give our Bay Rum fragrance its distinctive woody, sweet and spicy scent. Glycerin moisturizes and soothes the skin. Leaves you feeling refreshed and masculine.

15oz"

And then see it listed for $7.99 it doesn indeed make me say hmm   

how is it? Does it conform to the description or the price?

That depends Marko are you a urologist or a waxer of males?  Sorry, I could not resist a little shenanigans with that one.....

wax-er - wax-ee, does it matter     Wax on  Wax off. 

I'm guessing there's a whole subculture around male waxing complete with forums and WOTD pics.  

geez, I might have to close this thread!

No Marko do not succumb to the "Woke" culture. 
And to answer your question about the Master Bay Rum. It is a nice take on that genre of scent. It's a light on scent AS. Lighter than clubam VIBR. It is more soothing than the clubman. And the price and big bottle lets you go heavy on the application if you want. I'm happy with it. But my standards may be on the low end of the spectrum FWIW.
