"The base notes of vetiver and patchouli beckon you, the natural and bohemian movements of the time guide you through the hazy entrance."
This is what Razor Emporium has to say about 1977. It's definitely vetiver forward. I grabbed this smush from a passaround of the two Rex slants. It's definitely a timey scent that lives up to it's namesake. I rounded out the shave with some other timey items; Floid and Dior, although their eras predate the Rex, they are certainly classic scented.
The GeoFatBoy special challenge feels more like a day off than a challenge. I do 3 passes daily, and honestly, if I didn't enjoy this hobby, the single pass against the grain makes more sense efficiency wise. I can see how it might be more problematic if you went several days with only the one pass. But with a single day of growth, the stubble is already so short its comparable to already having done a WTG and XTG pass. Anyway, super easy solo ATG pass this morning.
