Late evening shave after a day of playing in the snow with Djunior. Mountain Man is fresh, clean and elegant as ever, and spicy Istanbul plays with it nicely.

I really enjoyed The Watchman yesterday, so I repeated the experience. Mousse Illuminée somehow fits with the Watchman.
Have a good evening!

The hunt continues. I'm almost at full-on soap donut status.
I'd love to get this Wallflower scent in soap form if TSF ever puts it out. I'll have to keep an eye out. It's a delightful scent.
Have a good day y'all! I'm off for a week after today, and then only two more days at my current job next week. I'm very excited for the change.
Exciting times!
A nostalgic Wednesday shave.
Jan 29, 2025 - Westman Wednesday: Alma
Using a suggestion from ChatGPT, I paired Alma with the PdM Layton dupe, Opulence, for a very enjoyable line up.
Did you feed your entire den into ChatGPT?
Seconding the question. We deserve details!

Very nice. I love this razor. Traveling today via airplane with the family. Flying out of LGA and going to DEN, then an hour drive to the north to visit my brother and his family.
Safe travels!
And seconding another of your comments!
