To pay tribute to u/RedMosquitoMM today, I went through and added to a playlist 3 songs from the last 3 months of posts on the 3rd and listened to those during my shave. That list being:
Roadside Graves - No One Will Know Where You've Been
Tyler Childers - Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?
Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London (Only the artist was listed, so I picked this one).

This smush of Boellis comes courtesy of u/J33pGuy13. Almond scents are not really something I go for. I mean, the scent isn't gross to me or anything, I just find it pretty meh. This was my first time with Boellis, and, like the scent, I also found performance to be pretty meh. Primary slickness was fine, residual there wasn't much of. My post shave feel with it wasn't bad by any means. Reading that almond is a typical Italian barbershop scent, I opted to stray away from the genre. The first thing that comes to mind when I think "almond" is HoM - Almond Leather. I reached for something with leather. Black Watch is so much more than leather. Spicy, incense-y and with a hint of citrus and leather. It was quick to drown out the almond, but I liked the concept of the two together.
This Ralf Aust is 🐐 in my den. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. The shorter blade with the thumb notch, the scalloped spine, and middle ground 6/8 size make this razor a comfortable tool for hair removal (and it's so pretty 😍). Overall, it was a nice shave this morning.
