Thoughts - first the WR1 is plenty efficient in a ,54 and ,61 for me. I hear people talk about all of these big gaps, I’ve owned a ,80 and ,86 Ti and the blade exposure was quite menacing at ,86 for me.  Just a tiny bit of skin stretching and the ,54 and ,61 get me a strong BBS 8+ hours.  

Next - Derby bay rum tonic - seriously if you like/love Bay Rum and don’t have this, you are cheating yourself.  It is a must for me and it a so good Dragonsbeard turned me onto it.  We can all agree that Frank knows quality scents.

And of course Ethos, for which I now have all my soaps and creams except one.  I can’t say enough about Ethos for my skin, it’s been the best of the best.  

Final tip, the Ethos bay rum skin food lotion gives you quite a “spice kick” if you like that with you bay rum.  That little warmth for 10 seconds many of us love and that with Ethos Bay Rum or Tortola splash, makes for a perfect ending. 

Have a great Sunday gentleman!
