If you have any inclination, I suggest that you delve into the world of hand-rolled cigars made of premium tobacco. I regret that I did not until a little over a year ago.

Olympus is one of those fragrances that provides a light, airy, feeling that rides over a warm base that has a touch of spice. Very well blended. Although I'm posting late, this was a great way to start my day.

Great shave! The last two days I have done 3-pass shaves. Really, I don't get much better results than I do with my optimized 2-pass pattern, but it is a nice change.

And, great photo!

Of the many CB soaps I wish I had, this one is towards the top of the list. Perhaps you know that Connecticut Shade is a type of tobacco grown in Connecticut and used mostly for cigar wrappers. Higher quality Connecticut Shade cigars are known for being smooth and creamy. My favorite for those (very rare) occasions when I have a cigar with my morning coffee.

lol! Very good!

I enjoyed this setup so much yesterday, I decided to use it again today. The only change I made was the brush.

All I can say is, “Get the EdT”. I sincerely doubt you will be disappointed.

On Reddit, I was asked what fragrance was like this one. I could not come up with one that was close. Can you?

This was my first use of the full Entropy Man trifecta. Wow! It was also a test shave for the coticule edge that I put on this razor yesterday. The edge performed magnificently. It gave me a very comfortable, BBS shave.
