ROTY

Today on this summer day I am the island man. Gave myself one hell of a shave today. I have only used island man a couple of times but its quickly becoming one of my favorite scents of the summer. It's only available in the summer too so what could be more seasonally specific than that. My first splash with menthol too. I like it but it's pretty intense. I got a splash from them with the glacial menthol treatment and im not going to lie im afraid to use it. I'd be curious to know if anyone else has experienced the glacial blast and can tell me their experience with it.

I did my best to get a color coordinated photo showing the blue soap and splash and the blue lather bowl on a ratty blue rug. The handle on the light colored Simpson brush was closer to the light label than my other brush. So it'll have to do. I'm also traveling and I only really travel with the Simpson synthetic.
