What soap/cream did you use today?

Grooming Department L'Avventura

I have a handful of pucks I will never be without. And this is one - great performance, great scent, great post, and love the packaging. In the Tuscan region for 10 days - she is the only tub I brought. The TSA idiot tried to confiscate at the gate. I guess he thought a 60 year old white guy was smuggling C4 on the plane? I went grouchy old man mode and convinced him it was not gel/liquid.... .in the meantime, they missed the razor blades in my dop kit. WTH.

Have a good week boys

Tommy,

Do not be afraid: the NSA has intercepted your posting and a SEAL6 strike team is actively tracking you down for rendition. 

Enjoy your holiday...until the middle of night flashbangs explode...haha.

Roger that Danny. I thought my post could be risky to my well being . But wanted my wet shaving brothers to know how weird my experience was. Soap?! Just wow.

While I've not had an TSA issues with L'Avventura, I'm of the impression that with time the scent keeps getting stronger, almost funkier and vegetal.  Not sure if I like it or whether the soap might be beginning to go bad.  Any experience like that? 

And, as to TSA and blades, yesterday, I went through in New Orleans with two packs of King C Gillette blades in my carryon.  I'd bought them at CVS on my trip and while they're not ever going to be my favorite blades, I was surprised that TSA didn't pick them up because I was expecting to having to discard them.

Brother, the scent in this one is strong! My wife never ever comments on my scent tail, but she actually commented as I was shaving that this was strong. She liked it. I noticed same - very aromatic - and no scent strength dissipation. Everyone has a unique preferences - this is in my ring of honor. I recognize I am probably a weirdo.

I’m not smelling much in the way of citrus here, and the florals are pretty demur, but the spicy bits are excellent. I pick up lots of clove, cinnamon, and benzoin, along with a dash of oak moss. On a cool fall morning, it’s very welcoming. Even though this fragrance isn’t my favorite take on Old Spice, I have to admit it gave today’s remarkably slick shave a warm and pleasant backdrop. I only wonder what would happen if it had a little leather and a drop of vanilla in it.
