Grooming and Hygiene

I am with you on that sentiment for sure. Next on my list will be a decent cup to bean machine that we can use in the office. I think the boss may have a fit when he sees the likely costs though.
Slowly been working on a few of my work colleagues who have spotted the shaving kit. Once they have got over the novelty value of finding someone who uses an open razor they become intrigued.
A couple of of lads have now picked up DE razors and are enjoying the benefits it brings. I am not on any kind of crusade against cartridge razors, each to their own, it is just nice to be able offer an alternative solution.

Really nice set up!
How do you find the Portland General Store stuff? I must admit it is a brand I have not heard of before. I might try and get hold of some if you reckon it is good stuff. I will drop them a line and see whether they will post to the UK.

I really like it. Just started using it. I bought it on sale at Gentry in Brooklyn, NY. The brush is one of the better that I have used and the cream has a nice rich, thick lather with a subtle fragrance.

I picked up Comme des Garcons' Blue Encens Eau De Parfum as my Spring/Summer scent for the year. It's early days, but a big fan so far, a lot of depth to it. Both light and deep notes.
On a related note, it's impossible to get EDT/EDP shipped from EU/UK/US to Australia, fecking annoying as the prices in AU are about twice as high as the rest of the world's.

Well, cologne is regulated by the Geneva Convention. But in America, the NFA (National Fragrance Association) makes sure the only way the government can get our eau d'toilet is by prying it from our cold, dead hands. Remember, fragrances don't kill people, people kill people. Freedom!

LMFAO -
What about my freedom not to choke to death on a miasma of Drakkar stench?
-
Ummm…I have a confession. I keep a secret bottle of Drakkar that I feel the need to bust out once a month. It's hidden under my cabinet, so no one knows I have it...every time I wear it, I swear to god, I get more compliments on how good I smell...it makes me laugh so hard...
-
I don't even know what it smells like it just has that notoriety
-
I only wear Terre d'Hermes parfum. I love that shit.
-
I'm thinking about picking up a bottle if this because of the lore.
