Jeeves Turkish Bath

Recovering from 2 days in a deer blind. Didn't see a squirrel much less a deer. Bummer.

Single digit weather with good snow on the ground.

TC, I have them walking through my property all the time. Was out shoveling the bottom of the drive so that I can get out to work in the morning after 2 days of being cooped up and saw tracks coming across the road. Your picture looks more fun than my picture Rolleyes

Soap of the 2024 Semois Valley @karveshavingco still going strong and it makes you to appreciate little things Smile

Brush on photo is Karve Nutmeg 20mm my Fav along with Tigerwood which are no longer made I was quite happy to obtain this brush!

Notes of Semois Valley are:

Fresh tobacco is a wonderful scent to behold! Rich and flowery with a hint of sweetness that is often described as caramel...there's something for everyone in this nuanced scent.

Semois Valley Shave Soap is named after the region surrounding the Semois river in Belgium, which I've seen and been there as child back early 90's!!

Kudos to Chris Kirchen for this one I completely dig
it!!

Collaboration would be cool with Will Carius @barristerandmann making this scent in Omninus this would be Fantastic!!

Cheers

Alan H
