MMarch24

Yesterday after forgetting that I have two space themed scents, I knew had to bring out 42 today. It is such a good scent for me. I have 4 tea scents that I absolutely love: Barrister and Mann - 42 + Cheshire, Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille, and MacDuffs Soap Co - Royal Earl Grey. I’m a tea drinker and not a coffee guy. Those 4 all really have elements of brewing a nice cup of loose leaf. I have a new one I haven’t broken out yet from Talent Soap Factory. Also have Wholly Kaw Iced Tea, but it is more a sweet flavored tea scent, the other 4 lean into black tea, bergamot, or lemon. New blade in the MM24, and my usual new blade nicks from a GEM happened on my second pass. These blades are usually a bit rough the first few shaves. I needed a little alum to stop the blood flow. Still haven’t replaced the styptic pencil my wife used when she cut the cat’s claws a little too short. A little light blood loss, but the wonderful scent took my mind of it for the rest of the shave. Pretty sure once this blade gets to 4-5 shaves, it will be smooth sailing for most of the month.

Sorry I didn’t jump in for the underdog. I only have 1 soap that I got in a PIF. It is great too, but I picked Barrister and Mann in my bracket. Looking through today’s posts, I should have gone with the underdog. I think it will be close. While I haven’t tallied them myself, I think Chicago Grooming is in a little bit ahead. It would be a March Madness bracket for me if I didn’t have one of my later round picks being upset on day 1. At work during the 2014 World Cup, they had a bracket contest. A whole quadrant for me was wrecked by Spain and England. Somehow I3 of my 4 semi finalists made it, and I had Germany winning. I ended up 3rd out of several hundred and won an iPad. Never done as well on anything else like that.
