Really excellent scent.

XPEC Original (Forester - Milano)

Barrister and Mann Mûire [E] Woods

Ya'll know this is my favorite base - numero uno. I love some of Will's scents, but not all.... Bluegrass took care of my hesitancy for me, and I have another loved B&M puck.

Strong of the puck, mellows upon lathering. A 'fruity bright clean' accord for me. It mates really well with Myrsol Blue. I have another summer starter per Bluegrass educating me . Thanks Ky brother.

Glad it works for ya, I thought it might. Perhaps my favorite at the moment of Will's

This kit is perfect for a single-pass shave, which is all I can handle during the hot season. Anything more, and it gets uncomfortable. I'm not aiming for a super-close shave, so I do get a bit bristly after a few hours – but at least there's no irritation.

Unfortunately I won't be shaving for a few days. Picked a fight with the wrong bush yesterday.



Crazy day yesterday... First, my back bike tire (brand new) wouldn't hold air, so I had to bring it to the bike shop. They couldn't get me in right away, and told me to go get breakfast and come back after. On the way to breakfast, I got pulled over for an expired registration. After, I picked up my bike and went mountain biking... and fell into the bush. And finally, I got covid yesterday.

Hope you heal up soon Matt. That sounds like a nasty but could have been worse fall. Since I’ve known you lots of falls and some broken things along with them! So please take it easy out there my friend.

Thanks Frank! Yeah I've definitely had my fair share. In the grand scheme of things, this one is just a minor inconvenience.

As bad as my ski accident was (compression fracture of my L2 (I think)) a couple years ago, that one could have been much much worse... If I'd gone in the air a few degrees further to the right, I'd have been aimed directly at the trees at 50 mph, helpless and spinning mid air. Not sure living would have been the best outcome. Crazy to think/say.

I used to say "if you're not falling, you're not trying hard enough". Not sure if I fully agree any more.
